Sign up your school or organization

Join teachers and mentors to power civic participation for a new generation of youth.

Here's how it works:
  1. Begin the process by signing up your school or other learning organization.
  2. Once your site is approved, you can create groups and invite others to create their own groups.
  3. Group administrators will receive a code; this code can be used to invite young writers to that group.
  4. Youth use the code to register themselves as writers; an email address is not required.

Civic Journalism for Rural Youth is part of the National Writing Project’s family of youth publishing projects, all gathered under the Writing Our Future initiative.

Writing Our Future projects are designed by educators for educators and the young people they work with. Intended for use in schools, libraries, and other educational settings. All projects are COPPA compliant and educator-managed. NWP is committed to supporting young people’s writing and civic participation by providing a safe and supportive environment for youth writing, media creation, sharing, and publishing.
