The Boot: Amplifying Voices Past and Present

August 9, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for a celebration of youth voice and community! This year marks the 25th Anniversary of our Summer Young Writers Workshop known as The Boot. Witness the bravery and hear the stories of these talented young writers.

The Summer Young Writers Workshop is a ten-week intensive writing program where students find their own voices and gain pre-employment skills such as public speaking. Students earn high school credit for their participation and work and may receive a stipend. Students learn to write poems and short stories, which are then published and presented to their family, friends, and community. This workshop would not be possible without funding from the City of Seattle Summer Youth Employment Program and the Office of Education.
