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.

The length and cost of courses vary. Scholarships are available.

  • Date: June 12 – August 7
    (Please Note: There will be no class on July 3)
  • Time: 7-9:30pm ET
  • Tuition: $259
  • Open to: All Genders 18+

The featured focus is writing in community over a period of several weeks. While some writing technique is taught in each class, emphasis is placed on writer’s pursuing their own forms of written expression (e.g., poetry, memoir, fiction, non-fiction or journaling). Writers are in charge of their writing. They request from small group members the type of feedback they want, based on their motivation and intentions. The proven process used creates a safe space for individuals to develop their own voice and offers opportunities to have their words heard and honored without judgment.
