Unlocking Creativity to Transform Lives
Writers in Residence teaches creative writing to youth who are incarcerated to empower their voices and assist in their re-entry into society.
"I learned about Joy"
"It was empowering and a safe space to express myself"
"I like this program because I get to get things off my chest"
"I needed Writers in Residence, I got to put what was on my mind while no one saying nothing"
"I learned how to cope by using creative writing and there's multiple opportunities to go far with it"
"I know what I need to do to be successful mentally"
Facilitate a smooth transition for youth back into their communities.
I am like the wind, you learn to deal with me but you can’t contain me. I’m always calm but wild inside. I’m free but feel trapped. You can’t see me but I’m always around. I cool you off when you feel hot. I help you travel from place to place but you can’t ever say thanks. When you go outside and you feel a breeze, just know I’m here. I am like the wind, you never know where I’m going to end up.
This is the kind of world we live in. The world we live in is divided in so many ways good and bad. My mom used to always say you want in one hand + sh*t in the other see which one files up faster.

I remember when we were at the group home and I ran, and you called me from your android phone crying telling me “Please come home” cuz you didn’t want me to get into trouble and I tried to call you back but I had no WIFI so it didn’t go through so I walked down Main Street back to the group home and from that point on I never wanted to hurt you again. Instead, I wanted to protect you from getting hurt cuz you mean the world to me & we have always had each other’s back through thick and thin. I love you Chenny forever. Love, Sam <3

a football game I have a goal to reach its to win if you get hit you got to get back up and try a different plan if i didnt work the first 4 downs. And sometimes you got to defend people from coming acrossed you. To get first downs is like something positive that happens when you are trying to reach your goal.
