About
Writers in Residence
Location: Medina County JDC
About: The Creative Writing Workshop occurs in the spring and fall seasons with weekly workshops that last 12-16 weeks. Each session runs for 1-1.5 hours either in-person or remote, teaching its residents writing techniques, texts, and themes from diverse and dynamic authors.
At the end of every workshop, Writers in Residence publishes chapbooks filled with the residents’ poetry and prose and distributes printed copies inside juvenile facilities, on campuses, and throughout the local communities to raise awareness about the juvenile justice system and advocate for juvenile justice reform. We expect student volunteers to spend at least 1-3 hours/week for the duration of the service experience. Please reconsider applying if you cannot meet this expectation.
Mission: to teach creative writing to youth who are incarcerated to empower their voices and assist in their re- entry into society.
Vision: to reduce the recidivism rates of our residents and participate in the transformation of the juvenile justice system.
Volunteering Hours: Saturdays 1:50 to 3:30 pm
Student Coordinator: Solé Hall-Hamilton
