The 7th Grade Poetry Foundation (7GP) is transforming young lives and their classrooms through writing. We provide free school-based poetry contests to every 7th grade student, in every type of school, in every community. 7GP seeks to create a national educational literary arts rite of passage that helps develop our nation's best and most diverse generation of poet laureates.
