About Pongo
Pongo Poetry Project is a 28-year-old non-profit whose mission is to engage youth in writing poetry to inspire healing and growth. Pongo was founded on the knowledge that poetry writing offers a unique vessel for healing from devastating trauma.
At the heart of our program is the Pongo Method, an evidence-based, trauma-informed technique for teaching poetry, created in collaboration with child psychiatrists, expressive writing therapists, and academics. Pongo has developed an approach to help youth write about painful life experiences – often for the first time – in a way that promotes insight and healing.
