Project “Young Writers Club” is a program designed to provide free insight and support to aspiring young writers in the San Diego Region. In support of this program, an AYLUS San Diego Branch volunteer organized a Young Writers Club Session on April 29th 2023, which was extremely well received, reviewed community pieces by local young writers, and enriched parents’ and kids’ understanding of writing growth.
In this session, we began reading and having discussions on the following two books: The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and several of Ocean Vuong’s poems (of which I will select and send to you before Saturday) .
At the same time, an online Young Writer Club Forum has been created for young writers to provide a safe and friendly writing community for junior writers to share their pieces.
By establishing this program, AYLUS hopes to provide creative writing education and knowledge accessible to all, especially kids underprivileged or special needs by connecting with the community with their requests, needs, and feedback, and also by providing equal opportunity. Also through this workshop, we are aiming to raise funds for the Libraries of Love, a project to build libraries for K-8 kids in Africa and provide books to them.
