An award to honor the spirit of creativity, kindness, and generosity that poet Reuben Jackson brought to Young Writers Project. (See the award winner here.)

Vermont's first Youth Poet Laureate is Harmony Devoe, 15, of Warren, VT! The finalists include some of YWP's very own poets! 

With deep sadness, we say farewell to our dear friend Reuben Jackson, a beautiful poet, teacher, and human being.

Vermont high school students invited to apply for eight summer institutes, from Arts to Environmental Science and Technology.
