Youth Speaks is a mid-sized performing arts organization based in San Francisco, California, focused on spoken word performance, education, narrative change, and youth development. It runs local and national youth poetry slams, cultural campaigns, and convenings, while delivering arts-in-education programs during the school day, after-school hours, and on weekends. The organization also develops theater and digital programming that has gained international recognition and has helped establish a national network of more than 75 programs centered on youth development and audience engagement. Recent collaborations include a 2023 partnership with the California Arts Council to support a fellowship program for Northern California artists. Earlier partnerships, such as with the Latino Community Foundation, connected young poets with opportunities to create spoken word videos and a music video with Las Cafeteras.
