What does creative leadership look like in action?

At URGENT Inc, it looks like high school interns learning how to be mentors for middle school artists, sharing ideas, listening closely, and building skills together through digital media arts.

Books open, phones down, and two young readers locked in.

That quiet kind of focus matters. , we create hands-on spaces where youth can read, explore, create, and build the skills.

What does reading make possible for a young creator?

At URGENT Inc., it can be the spark for a new story, a sharper point of view, and the confidence to turn an idea into something real.

When young artists, filmmakers, and learners engage with books and with each other, they build imagination, curiosity, and the language to express what matters to them. That connection is central to our approach. Through hands-on digital media arts education, positive youth development, and career-connected learning, we help young people develop their voices, strengthen their skills, and carry their creativity into future opportunities in the creative industries.

Reading opens the door. Creating helps activate the learning.

We are thrilled to be returning to Florida, an important battleground state where our fearless Freedom to Read advocates are driving change. PEN America’s 2025-2026 National Findings Report found that Florida had 3,212 incidents of book bans, the second highest after Texas with 8,193. “Both states have become blueprints for educational censorship, where special interest groups, state laws, and politicians have converged to pressure school districts to restrict and remove access to books.” - PEN America

WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED TO READ?

A book is more than words on a page. It can challenge assumptions, preserve history, spark imagination, and help young people discover their place in the world.

Yet across America, access to books has become one of education’s most contested issues.

As educators, parents, librarians, and community leaders, we must ask: What happens when stories disappear from our school libraries?

🏆 Join us for a screening of , the Primetime Emmy® Award-winning documentary, followed by a moderated community conversation featuring filmmakers, educators, and civic leaders.

📅 Thursday, October 22, 2026
⏰ 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Children’s Village, 219 NW 14th Terrace, 5th Floor, Miami

Are you ready to open more doors for young creators in Miami? You can help in a few real ways: make a one-time or monthly gift, volunteer your expertise, hire URGENT’s creative services, or share our work with your network.

We’re looking for board leaders, advisory committee members, academic tutors, and partners who want to help young artists, filmmakers, and designers build skills, earn experience, and grow their futures. Bring your imagination. Lead with heart. Let’s make a lasting impact!

Practice is where confidence starts to build.

Showing up, speaking up, learning, and practicing again. Every moment to lead and be heard helps girls grow skills, strengthen confidence, and shape how they relate to others.

This is about more than getting it right the first time. It is about building leadership over time, with room to grow, create, and step forward with purpose.

Drop a comment with one skill that got stronger through practice.

October 11 is a reminder, girls’ voices belong at the center.

On International Day of the Girl Child, we’re celebrating the creators, artists, and future leaders shaping the narrative through media, arts, and hands-on learning.

This day calls us to keep building spaces where girls can express themselves, grow their skills, and lead with confidence.

Together, we celebrate creativity, leadership, and the power of youth voice.
