Writing Workshops
Traditionally once students have completed our Storytellers program, they are invited to participate in our Writers PLUS ME program. Here we dig deeper into writing strategies from our My Story Matters Journals and help students turn their discovered narratives into powerful personal statements for college applications. Each student leaves with a completed journal filled with small moments from their lives that have shaped who they are and first drafts of their personal insight questions for the UC applications or essays for their common apps. To learn more or to schedule a workshop, contact us here.
Writers PLUS ME
Students are supported as they take their developed stories and lay the groundwork to turn them into their college personal statements. Students dig deeper into our PLUS ME journals and leave with content that can be polished into their college essays.
Target Audience: 11th - 12th Graders
Time Frame: Up to 5 (60-minute) sessions
College Essay Workshops
In this workshop series, high school students learn how to approach Personal Insight Questions (PIQ) in preparation for UC college applications or the Common App. We use the introspective, story-building process to support students as they decide which PIQ/Common App prompts to answer, generate ideas on how to summarize their unique life experiences, and tools for clear writing.
Target Audience: 11th - 12th Graders
Time Frame: Up to 5 (60-minute) sessions
