At The Young Writers Initiative, we empower young writers worldwide by offering Chapter Programs in schools and hosting Write-a-thons that inspire creativity, foster self-expression, and support them in pursuing their dreams.
More than 6,000 people helped our community
All of our services are free or benefits of volunteering. We are dedicated to making sure every young writer gets the resources they need to improve and succeed. We try our best to give our volunteers and clients all the resources we can but never compromise on accessibility.
Creativity is a pillar of writing and art. We seek for all our members and young writers to think out of the box and pursue creativity in all they do. Our contests and literary journal prompt you to be creative and explore the parts of us that makes us creative.
Not only do young writers need resources, they need constructive feedback that will improve their writing. Our services are geared towards providing young writers the truth and giving them the tools to improve.
We strive to educate, which is the purpose student writing workshops with EduMate NYC, our 12-hour Write-a-thon, and all the other events we host. We structure our volunteer programs on an educated basis, organizing bootcamps for editing, beta reading, cover design, and more.
Volunteers are the foundation of The Young Writers Initiative. Giving back to the community while gaining real skills applicable to the real world is a valuable experience and one that gives back to the community.
