Young People’s Poet Laureate National Programming
In her role as the 2025-2026 Young People’s Poet Laureate, Carole Boston Weatherford has established an initiative to provide programming for young readers, caregivers, librarians, and educators across the United States. Sponsored by the Poetry Foundation, these events are available free to participants and will be updated as they become available. Subscribe to our Educators newsletter to learn about upcoming related events.
My mission is to mine the past for family stories, fading traditions, and forgotten struggles that center on African American resistance, resilience, remarkability, rejoicing and
remembrance.
