With support from the California Arts Council, 916 Ink will work in partnership with a highly qualified HR consultant to improve existing HR infrastructure and implement new processes that will have a positive impact on our employee engagement, retention, and compliance. As a young organization that has experienced rapid growth since being founded in 2011, we have reached a point where this type of support is crucial in order for us to continue scaling and executing our mission effectively.
916 Ink is Sacramento’s arts-based creative writing and literacy nonprofit that provides workshops and tutoring to transform Sacramento youth into strong readers, confident communicators, and published authors. Our programs increase literacy skills, improve vocabulary, teach empathy, positively impact social and emotional learning, and expand communication skills. We envision a Sacramento region where every child and teen is given access to a culturally relevant creative writing program that leads them to believe in themselves and to understand the power of the written word.
