RETURN TO MAIN YOUNG WOMEN'S PAGE
Young Women Writing for (a) Change provides writing programs for girls and young women in grades 4-college to help them write and speak with an authentic voice. Young women are supported in their writing through writing prompts, through conversations about writing and about being a young woman, and by participating in a “small group” of three or four peers where they can share their writing out loud and be heard. We engage young writers in a supportive writing community based upon acceptance and deep listening.
Goals are to help girls:
- enhance self-esteem
- build skills in creative self-expression
- learn to receive and give honest support and encouragement,
- develop skills in building and keeping community
- seek and recognize role models who inspire creative life choices.
All YWWf(a)C programs are designed to help strengthen girls' authentic voices, their ability to "speak out" through writing and in direct interaction, and their faith in their own creative intelligence.
