Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, 916 Ink will provide 10 creative writing workshops to approximately 160 7th-12th grade students who are incarcerated or on probation to develop their unique voice, learn effective communication skills, creatively make decisions, and become excited about identifying as writers. Each student will receive a total of 18 hours of ELA instruction. Student poems, prose and stories will be professionally published in one of three anthologies.
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.
