Three years ago, Street  Poets began planting a seed — a vision of a vibrant, safe space where poetry, culture, and wellness could flourish for the youth of South Los Angeles. Today, that seed has taken root, nurtured by countless mentors, volunteers, and supporters who believe in the transformative power of spoken word.

And the garden is still growing.

We are building a permanent home — a state‑of‑the‑art Center for Community, Culture & Wellness — so we can expand our programs, deepen our impact, and keep the rhythm of poetry alive for the next generation. That’s why we’re launching the Roots + Reach Capital Campaign, a journey that invites you to grow with us.

Help us bring the Street Poets Center for Community, Culture & Wellness to life!

Keep your gift giving! Make a monthly donation to help sustain us for more seasons to come.

Your generosity today fuels tomorrow’s poetry, culture, and wellness. By investing in Street Poets, you’re giving young creators the space to dream, the platform to speak, and the community to thrive.
