Urban Mtn.Voices

 
Urban Mountain Voices (UMV)  is a FREE after-school program serving Monroe, County PA. We provide uncensored, safe space where young adults ages 13- 19 can express themselves freely  through creative writing and spoken word poetry performance.  We meet every Friday, 4:30 - 6:30pm on the ESU Campus in East Stroudsburg.  All are welcome!

“UMV is a personal relief for students that just need someone to listen to them, and also it's a great way to expose problems (in the community, school or family) that need to be dealt with through the amazing power of writing and spoken word. Also if you just want to improve your writing skills UMV is a great way to do so.” –Carl Watts, ESHS-South

UMV is a project of the Pocono Community Theater and a partner with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Writing Project at East Stroudsburg University

UMV plans to take a SLAM TEAM to the annual BRAVE NEW VOICES youth poetry competition in 2011.  We need local schools on board to help make this dream a reality.
