Project Description
With the support of the California Arts Council, 916 Ink will launch The Next Chapter: Literary Media Fellowship. This fellowship program will serve to empower students who have previously completed our Creative Writing/Literacy programs to gain skills and pursue careers in writing, publishing, media and communications. This year-long mentorship program for alumni, ages 16-21, will provide fellows with coaching and mentorship on career and education goals, opportunities to network with communication professionals and local guest artists, and opportunities to produce original creative media which expresses their unique perspective. Each Fellow will complete a capstone project in the form of a publication, performance, or production.
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.
