Vin jwenn nou sou entènèt pou Speak Up, yon pwogram ekriti kreyatif k ap sipòte devlopman atistik ak pwofesyonèl adolesan yo….

Nan sa a Gratis Nan yon mini-seri atelye ekriti kreyatif vityèl, adolesan yo pral fè ekip ak atis-edikatè ki gen eksperyans pou ranfòse pwosesis ekriti kreyatif la, soti nan redaksyon rive nan pèfòmans ak piblikasyon, pou ogmante alfabetizasyon epi bay jèn yo nan Miami plis fòs atravè aktivite ekriti ki baze nan kominote a.

This Fall’s theme is Best of the Vault, a curated selection of fan-favorite presentations from previous Speak Up programs. Join us weekly for creative writing Throwback Thursdays after school!

Pwogram nan ouvè pou tout adolesan (ki gen laj 13-19) epi li se gratis jan l ye a San devwa. Pa bezwen okenn eksperyans anvan!
