About Literature for All of Us
Literature for All of Us is an award-winning, nationally recognized agency devoted to connecting young people to their strengths through literature and poetry in weekly book groups led by a professional facilitator. We work with teens who struggle with early pregnancy and parenting, poverty, violence, and gangs. Through weekly book discussions and poetry writing exercises, the program provides opportunities for connection, creative self-expression,and a deepening understanding of the world. The program celebrates the creative voices of young people and creates meaningful cultural exchanges through printed publications and public poetry readings. We open worlds by opening books!
Since we began this important work in 1996, we have brought the rewards of reading and writing to over 4,800 Chicagoland young people. Find out more about this important work at www.literatureforallofus.org.
