The next generation has something bold to say!

Over the past seven weeks, young writers in our community have been writing and refining original pieces through our Young Writers Workshop summer program.

These are stories of personal struggle, courage, resilience, identity, hope, and everything in between.

Join us as these brave young writers take the stage to share their truth through poetry, storytelling, and spoken word.

A night 30 years in the making 💛

Delridge30 was a celebration of where we've been, the people who've been part of the journey, and the community that continues to make it all possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this epic milestone!

We've still got plenty more pics to share (because how can you fit 30 years of celebration into just 10 photos?).

Plus, we were presented with a very special surprise by members of the Seattle City Council!

We can't wait to share it with y'all!
