WHAT WE DO – AND WHY
Get Lit – Words Ignite was founded in 2006 in Los Angeles by Diane Luby Lane to increase literacy, empower youth, and energize communities through poetry. Get Lit began with a show that Diane toured with internationally celebrated poet Jimmy Santiago Baca, turning it into a curriculum which transformed youth into poets, leaders, and scholars.

The numbers are all the proof you need: 97% of teachers see a significant increase in attendance, engagement, and grades after using Get Lit's curriculum and 100% of students say that the Get Lit curriculum has a positive effect on their mental health.
