Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Young Writers Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping youths build the confidence and communication skills needed to succeed in school, college, the workplace and beyond. Our work is rooted in a diverse online community -- youngwritersproject.org -- an environment defined by respect, quality and innovation where young people learn from their differences and gain skills from peers, mentors and experts.

Young Writers Project (YWP) develops effective methods to help youths find and explore their own ideas, share with peers and mentors and present their best work to affirming audiences. YWPs most significant activities are its civil online writing community for youth at youngwritersproject.org, its program that publishes youths online and in print, and its instructional workshops and school residencies
