Messages of Hope Workshop 2017

Did you know? After Messages of Hope, from 7-10 PM, The Union wil donate 20% of food bills back to Gryphon Place! Join us for a bite to eat.

Gryphon Place & Speak It Forward/Kinetic Affect are partnered to bring you the 2nd annual “Messages of Hope” youth workshops and community performance. Kirk & Gabriel (www.100poemsforhope.com) will work with youth to craft their own spoken word poetry stories of overcoming challenges, struggles and issues to be a symbol of hope that others who struggle can overcome, too.
