Writing Workshops
WritersCorps offers free creative writing workshops to youth ages 6 to 22 during the school year. We currently teach most of our workshops at school sites. If you are a youth and would like to attend a workshop, please see our site list to find out if you already attend one of the schools we work in.
We also offer free after-school workshops for teens at public libraries. Please see below for our upcoming library workshops. We hold workshops at the Main Library, and will add other branches in the near future. All programs at the library are free and are supported by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.
