Youth Programs at Women Writing
Young 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. At the same time, they will become better writers (without any red pens!).
Writing in a community of their peers, young people learn to encourage each other through honest feedback while building skills in creative self-expression.
Focusing on topics relevant to young people today, the programs include one-day workshops, multi-session classes and summer writing camps.
Camps are open to young women, girls, and trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth, in grades 4-12, unless designated as All Gender.
Our Fall Fundraiser, Bounty of Words was a huge success! The evening was full of friendship, connection, powerful words and stories.
Thank you again to all our sponsors. Your generosity made the event possible!
