Inspired by its mission to offer young people the support they need to explore their passions, find their purpose, and reach their full potential, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston (BGCB) recognized a tremendous opportunity in partnering with Write the World, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving teenagers’ writing skills and confidence.
The result? Teens discovering the joy of writing as a powerful, and also fun, means of self-expression. This collaboration provided young people with a consistent platform over six weeks to express themselves, connect with peers, and develop essential writing skills. In total, the teens created nearly 200 original written pieces throughout the duration of the program.
The six weeks culminated in open mic-style celebration that provided six writers with the opportunity to present their work to an audience of peers, staff, and other community members.
