A real 10 year old will write your love poem.

Powered by Bay Area Creative, SPARC Poetry has been sending local

poets into classrooms since 2008. We work with over 6,000 youth a year

- ages 5 to 18 years old in underserved communities.

Help us meet our goal of raising $5,000 by Feb 15th

each dollar you donate will go towards bringing our

film and poetry program to more youth!

Becoming a patron of the arts will help us consistently be able to reach new students each month!

Monthly member donations can be as little as $10 per month

When the Pandemic hit, our classrooms turned into computer

screens - So SPARC poetry responded by creating video editing

classes where students as young as 10 years old can create their

own short poem films in order to get their creations out to the world! 

Here are some of our 5th grade students and their experiences with our film and poetry classes

Testimonials from some of our 5th grade film and poetry students:

I enjoy just letting myself go while writing poetry. I also enjoy getting to create my own videos!

I enjoyed writing different types of poems and learning how to edit videos to make them look cool.

I love making videos I have even made a few videos on my own! I like learning new editing skills and trying it on my own.

I like how fun and funny the teacher is, he finds amazing videos to explain what we are doing, he makes poetry really fun!!

I really love learning new strategies for making poetry, learning from others, and cool film tricks. Personally, i love poetry and always have.

I love learning and watching your hard work videos! I also love making these really cool videos you assign us! I hope next semester it gets even better! :)

Your support brings youth across the country this opportunity to turn their messages into films and to transform the world with their creativity.
