A service for others
All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind
An influence for the future
Adlai E. Stevenson High School student Shayaan Shaik founded Youth Rhetoric Foundation in 2020 to provide educational resources for those who don’t have access to adequate content in literature and are unable to express themselves or their ideas in a communicative manner. Using our passion for creative writing, we want to bridge the gap in literacy for young students in Chicago Public Schools so that these individuals may learn the fundamentals towards language development and a stronger fluency in discourse
Strengthening our community
We want our future neighbors to be educated so that as a whole society we can be more progressive and logical about how we evaluate problems.
Leading tools
Through the skill of rhetoric and a more thorough understanding of communication, our community, and the people in it, will prosper.
Our team
