Spark Young Voices
See your name in print this year.
A young writers program for motivated, creative students who have something to say. Work with professional editors, publish in a real newsletter, and finish the year holding an issue with your byline in it.
Amplify youth voices.
Create lasting change. Inspire others.
This program is real assignments, real editors, and a real audience. When your student's first draft comes back covered in an editor's notes, that's the moment they start being treated like a writer — feedback that builds the skills needed for amplifying change.
Designed for 6th-9th graders.
