Young Chicago Authors

March 10th, 2006

Teena Jo Neal, a former 110 volunteer photo mentor, passed this along to me.

If you look at it, we’re doing the same things (a bit differently).

"Young Chicago Authors encourages self-expression and literacy among Chicago’s youth through creative writing, performance, and publication.  YCA provides student-centered, artist-led workshops, free to youth ages 13-19 in schools and communities. Our process emphasizes artistic development, mentorship and creating safe spaces where a young person’s life matters. We believe that through their words, young people can promote tolerance and remove barriers, transforming their lives and society."
