After-School Writing Programs
offer students ages 6-18 in-person and virtual opportunities to write and tell their stories at our Greenwood and Yesler Terrace locations. Students also have the opportunity to work together in writing and storytelling clubs, focus on individual projects, and learn from visiting guest writers, artists, and experts. Our overall approach, along with focused activities, nurtures emotional awareness, elevates creative voice, and builds a strong community.
Our Program Managers are experienced educators practicing Social and Emotional Learning and the tenets of Growth Mindset. They draw on the whole of the Fearless Ideas community, which includes the active participation of families and the help of trained volunteers. Ultimately, the success of our After-School Writing Programs rely on students who bring a genuine desire to learn and a commitment to be kind, creative, and fearless.
I enjoyed the ways you were able to connect us with ourselves and the whole group through writing and creativity."

About our High School
Youth Advisory Board
Youth Advisory Board
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
from different neighborhoods and schools form our Youth Advisory Board (or YAB). Together they earn their community service credit through working to make a difference, and by acting as ambassadors of Fearlessness throughout the community. They might collaborate as an editorial board for one of our publications, organize and execute a day of service, make documentary films, attend special cultural events, lead a creative writing club, or act as dutiful consumers of donated pizzas.
