Get Lit is a Southern California non-profit that uses literature, in particular Slam poetry, to help urban High School students succeed by expressing themselves through an intricate flow of passion and prose. Scott Gold wrote a great article about the program in today's LA Times that anyone involved in youth education and empowerment should read.

Please read this article and share it with friends and family. I hope it inspires you as much as it inspired me.
