Introduction to Writing Program

At Blue Bird Art Foundation, we believe that writing is another form of art that gives youth the power to express their thoughts, experiences, and dreams. Through storytelling, youth develop creativity, confidence, communication skills, empathy, and critical thinking. They also learn to listen to different perspectives and understand how their words can inspire and connect with others.This program supports Blue Bird Art’s mission to cultivate compassionate young leaders by helping every participant recognize that their voice and story have value.

In this five-week program, Blue Bird Art Foundation guides youth through
the real steps authors take to write a book from an idea to finished story.
In a supportive, encouraging environment, participants explore their creativity, build confidence, and discover the power stories have to inspire and connect people. Along the way, youth develop creativity, confidence, communication, critical thinking, patience, and empathy- skills that carry far beyond the page.​
