With support from the California Arts Council, Chapter 510 will teach a 12-week poetry course to all 3rd grade students at Hoover Elementary in Oakland based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In year two, the same students, as 4th graders, will continue to explore human rights through poetry.
Chapter 510 offers writing, podcasting, and bookmaking workshops to Oakland youth, led by Teaching Artists in affirming and inspiring spaces within a supportive community of volunteers and artists. We also publish our students’ words in beautifully bound and illustrated books and host events to collaborate with and elevate Oakland’s diverse community of artists and creatives.
