For Parents
Making better writers by encouraging confident voices.
Young Women Writing for (a) Change® programs are designed to strengthen participants’ authentic voices, develop their abilities to speak through writing, deepen their belief in their own creative intelligence and enhance their self-esteem.
Writing in a community of their peers, students learn to give and receive honest feedback and encouragement while building skills in creative self-expression.
“I felt so uplifted and empowered throughout this week.”
Program offerings range from one-day workshops to multi-session classes and summer writing camps. All programs focus on topics relevant to young women and TGNC youth today and encourage participants to speak out through the art and power of writing.
Our camps are open to young women, girls, and trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth, unless designated as All Gender.
Seeing the Difference
Our daughter takes more creative risks with her writing, pushing herself to think more deeply and personally about ideas she cares about.
She has improved confidence, better understands herself and what is important to her, has learned to share thoughts and ideas more comfortably, and feels very validated by the community at WWfaC.
She has found words for topics that are important to her and an outlet to express herself rather than holding so much in her head, and she connected with others in a supportive space. She has become more confident in sharing her ideas and writing with others.
Watching my daughter share at any read around has been incredible for me. To see her affirmed and affirming others while speaking her truth is amazing.
She really likes getting feedback from peers and the group format for sharing.
