With support from the California Arts Council, 916 Ink will hire a qualified and highly recommended executive coach in order to help develop the leadership abilities of our three director-level staff, including our Executive Director. The time invested in developing an honest yet strengths-based assessment of leadership at 916 Ink will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire organization, allowing us to achieve our goal of reaching significantly more youth per year by 2020.
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.
