The Rising Voices Youth Poetry Collective (YPC) is a leadership alliance organized in collaboration with the Santa Cruz County Poet Laureate for those who enjoy creative writing.
Meet weekly to explore the power of creative writing and poetry as a force for positive change in the world.
Meet with writers, editors, and publishers. Work together to edit, design, and publish an anthology of teen poetry, art, and creative writing.
Upon publication, YPC will host a launch party as well as participate in county-wide readings featuring participating youth reading alongside established writers and poets from the community
