Join us online for Speak Up, a FREE virtual creative writing workshop mini-series for teens (ages 13-19).

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.

The program is open to all teens (ages 13-19) and is as free of charge as it is free of homework. No previous experience necessary!
