3^{rd Space} Initiative is an arts production program that guides young creatives toward maximizing their full potential as artists. Participants attend weekly Spoken Word Poetry & Music Production workshops, including occasional field trips and events, to develop their crafts, while engaging with socio-emotional, spiritual and political concepts to sharpen their minds as artistic intellectuals. 3^{rd Space} Initiative provides a space for teens to question and expand their knowledge of self and radical self-healing, and ultimately, to explore their relationship to it through art.
