That Kid Can Write

WE are a nonprofit based in NYC with the AIM TO OFFER CHILDREN THE AGES OF 6-12 FREE CREATIVE WRITING LESSONS EITHER ONLINE OR IN PERSON! we work to NURTURE A LOVE FOR WRITING WHILE STRIVING TO REDUCE RELIANCE ON AI GENERATED WRITING BY ENCOURAGING CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY!


As of now, classes will be taught by teen instructors with a strong-suit for creative writing. We will go over basic English grammar and formality, how to create a storyline using various narrative writing techniques, developing writer's voice, and how to explore diverse modes and genres of writing. In the future, we hope to invite established authors who grew up in NYC to lead workshops and share their craft with our students! Additionally, we want to hold book drives in partnership with local libraries and donate the collected books to under-resourced schools and community programs across NYC.
