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

In this FREE virtual creative writing workshop mini-series, teens will partner with experienced teaching artists to empower the creative writing process, from drafting to performance to publishing, to boost literacy and empower youth in Miami through community-based writing activities.
