Partners in Rhyme (PIR) is an intergenerational poetry program where older adults and teens gather to read, discuss, and write poetry. Throughout a six-week series, participants meet in small groups (3 teens and 2 adults) and explore poems by ethnically and racially diverse, contemporary and classic poets. Each session has a different Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) theme relevant to all ages such as gratitude, resilience or personal refuges. The program is offered throughout the year in public and private high schools and urban youth centers in the greater Boston area.
