Sponsored by Youthadelphia, the 4th annual festival is taking it back to what it’s all about: empowering youth voices and uniting communities. The GPF Youngbloods, a team of poets from high schools across Northwest Philadelphia, will perform alongside festival alumnae and teachers. Youth poetry groups from Philly schools and community organizations are invited to participate. G-town Radio will broadcast the event live over the internet.
