GIGS at #TWP
At #TeenWritersProject, we are looking for highly organized, self-driven, and passionate teens to join our fast-growing team. 

As a member of our Teen Editorial Board, teens acquire transferable job skills, and learn how to make smart decisions, collaborate, prioritize, and engage with the community!

Our organization provides a highly collaborative and creative opportunity for teens to gain experience in leadership, life skill development, community service, and reading, writing, social, and cultural literacy. Not only will you work collaboratively with other teen and adult members to brainstorm and develop programming, you will develop, create and publish The #TWP Quarterly Lit Zine, and actively engage with teens to recruit, encourage, support, lead, and have fun!
