At Uptown Stories, our mission is to empower young people to write their own stories. Based in Washington Heights, we offer in-school, after-school, weekend, and summer creative writing workshops for children ages 8-18, led by rock-star teachers, who are also professional authors and artists. The students learn the art and craft of writing, how to revise their work, and how to give and receive constructive feedback. Through writing workshops, students also learn and practice key life skills, how to persist and complete a project, how to tolerate criticism, and in turn how to speak respectfully to peers. To ensure our program is accessible to our ethnically and economically diverse community, our tuition is “Pay-What-You-Can.” Uptown Stories creates an exciting, challenging, and supportive community in which young authors from all backgrounds thrive.
