WELCOME TO OUR SLAME POETRY CAFA is an education hub that teaches spoken-word craft, performance technique, and creative confidence through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and community open-mic events. By combining curriculum-driven skill-building with performance opportunities and individualized coaching, the café transforms hesitant writers into compelling performers—making poetry accessible, theatrical, and immediately practical for classrooms, youth groups, and adult learners alike.

At our core we believe in creative courage, inclusive community, and rigorous craft: we nurture brave voices by creating a safe, diverse space where experimentation is encouraged and discipline is taught with empathy. Our programs honor each learner’s story while demanding craft and preparation, so students leave not only inspired but technically capable; every decision we make prioritizes accessibility, respectful feedback, and real-world performance experience to amplify underrepresented perspectives through powerful spoken word.
