Stomping Grounds Literary Arts Initiative 

Stomping Grounds Literary Arts Initiative is an arts and literacy incubator for youth to access materials, mentorships, and production opportunities to explore creative options for becoming self-determined authors of their unique experiences. 

Stomping Grounds collaborates with practitioners in response to the specific needs & desires of youth who are under-resourced and criminalized by default. Stomping Grounds organizes in the Chicago community, online creative networks, and most importantly within youth incarcerated spaces. The initiative is designed to bring the creative arts as a catalyst for growth, reflection, and opportunities.
