Why give?
By supporting IC Speaks you help 870+ youth have access to our 5 different programs and 167+ events & workshops. In 2025 we visited 48 classrooms and spent roughly 2,581 hours inspiring, teaching, and encouraging the youth that will shape our future. When you support IC Speaks you allow us to continue offering programming that 94% of youth participants stated they were likely to recommend to their peers. Additionally, your contribution will enable us to send a team of young poets to compete in Brave New Voices, the national poetry competition.
