If selected, the individual will collaborate with educational institutions, such as schools and colleges, local libraries, after-school programs, along with the current Westchester County Poet Laureate BK Fischer.

Any youth interested should email Susan Weisman from the Westchester County Youth Bureau at ssw9@westchestergov.com by Friday, October 7th.
