The World Needs Different Perspectives
We asked young women and gender-expansive youth in our community to look at the same footage as inspiration for a story—their story.
Writers & Leaders Creating Change
Dreams are universal; opportunity is not—especially during a crisis. With your support, we can help young writers create opportunity for themselves and their communities for generations to come.
Join Our Team!
