Dream Big Speak Out Logo

Dream Big Speak Out is a program created by the New York Knicks, Garden of Dreams and Urban Word NYC, designed to inspire students to engage and reflect on the African American experience as well as how Black History inspires our everyday lives. Over the course of an 8 week program, 15 teens from Garden of Dreams partner organization SCO Family of Services met weekly at the Urban Word offices. They explored history, poetry, music and popular culture to cultivate their powerful youth voices which culminated in live performances at The Dream Big Speak Out Open Mic Event.
