National Youth Poet Laureate Stephanie Pacheco Visits 15-LOVE

View on Facebook

National Youth Poet Laureate Stephanie Pacheco stopped by on Monday, July 29th to meet with our kids to discuss her journey as a poet. They were awe inspired by her story.

She was chosen as the 2024-2025 National Youth Poet Laureate and served as the 2023 NYC Youth Poet Laureate and the inaugural New York State Youth Poet Laureate. She was also a member of Urban Word’s 2022 Youth Slam Team. They had lots of questions for her and talked about their experiences as poets.



A big thank you to the The New York State Writers Institute and Paul Grondahl for making this happen for our kids. They enjoyed the experience.
