​How do we make writing cool again?
At the Young Writer Program for students of Grade 6-8, we turn students into reporters, designers, journalists and then let the magic unfold..​​
Since 2024, we've helped students across 20+ schools create high-quality magazines and get published!

Why use journalism as a tool to improve writing?
Research and or own experience has show us that :
When students write about things that matter to them - rising prices in the school canteen or the challenges of cycling to school, it brings out their best work!
Getting published is a game changer for students’ confidence. Seeing their name printed in a publication that’s read by their peers can make students want to write more!
No grades, just real feedback from real people. Writing for a publication and people gives purpose to students’ writing and builds their investment in the writing process.
Real , authentic writing tasks build skills and students' interest. Students interview people around them and conduct research, which turns out to be far more interesting than writing an essay.
How does the program work?
The program duration is 2 months or 8 weekends.
We partner with schools committed to building better writers and providing students oppotunities to creatively express themselves
We start with a 2 day, in-person writing summit where students turn into reporters, storytellers and designers!
Through 5 online workshops and 1:1 feedback sessions, we empower students to write, edit and get published!
