Youth Communication's annual summer writing workshop for New York City youth, ages 15 - 20, takes place July 8 - August 15, 2019. Participants will get one-on-one mentoring from a professional editor, write personal stories about their life, go on field trips, and make friends with other writers. Participant stories will be published in one of Youth Communication's two award-winning magazines: YCteen, by and for New York City high school students, or Represent, by and for young people in foster care.
