Deep’s Youth Leadership Team hosts two leadership pathways, the Slam Team and the Action Research Team (ART), which are made up of young people who identify strongly as creative writers, are passionate about engaging with hearts and minds in some of Savannah’s and our nation’s most challenging topics, and are committed as experts, in their own right, to helping support and improve Deep Center.
