WRITING WEDNESDAYS
Writing Wednesdays combines creative writing, storytelling, and guided reflection to support teens' emotional wellness, personal growth, and writing goals. Grounded in a therapeutic approach, these writing sessions provide a supportive space for teens to explore their experiences, express emotions, examine personal narratives, and discover new perspectives through writing.
Through these guided sessions, participants develop self-awareness, recognize their strengths, and explore how the stories they tell about themselves shape their identities and relationships.

LISTENING LABS
Teen Listening Labs bring teens together to talk about the issues, experiences, and ideas that matter to them. From social and political issues to culture, identity, relationships, and everyday life, no topic is off the table. Using our Story Starter cards, teens engage in small-group conversations, share perspectives, ask questions, and explore different points of view.
But the conversation doesn't have to end there. Your ideas can become magazine articles, interviews, podcast episodes, and other original stories created in collaboration with our Editorial Board. You bring the conversation. We'll help you take it further.
