Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, 916 INK will provide our in-class creative writing workshops for up to 150 students attending Luther Burbank High School’s “Character & Scene” elective course. Our teaching artists give students the opportunity to write their own original pieces of poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. Students will also be introduced to additional local guest teaching artists as they work to prepare their writing for publication.
Organization Summary
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.
