The PYPM Dream Big Literary Arts Festival is a four-day weekend of workshops, special events and community service projects that encourage youth to use their voices to create change in their communities. Embracing the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dream Big seeks to promote literacy, social change and community involvement as a means of elevating oneself, intellectually and spiritually, as well as inspiring those around us to do the same. PYPM is committed to helping youth discover the power of their voices, and Dr. King is a key role model of the effectiveness behind one’s voice and the power to create change through words. The festival is an opportunity to help youth develop their writing and performance practice, and build upon their leadership skills as active members of the community.
