Berger.

Joshua Berger is a poet, educator, and youth advocate who has dedicated his work to unlocking the creative potential in young people. Through Power Poets, he brings together the worlds of spoken word, performance, and leadership development.

Joshua believes that every young person carries a story worth telling — and that the act of putting words to that story is one of the most powerful things a person can do. His workshops create safe, energizing spaces where youth feel seen, challenged, and inspired.

With experience working across schools, community centers, and youth programs, Joshua has helped hundreds of young poets discover their voice — and use it to lead.
