Inspire a new generation of writers as a teacher for WritersCorps. WritersCorps offers low-income youth opportunities to write, publish, and perform through workshops in public schools, libraries, public housing, and detention facilities. Our long-term, in-depth model gives teaching artists what they need to inspire youth to improve their writing skills and to grow as individuals. Our teachers serve up to 3 years, are part of a group that meets often, receive extensive professional development training, and are paid summers for teaching-related writing projects.
