The National Writing Project’s (NWP) Civic Journalism Initiative aims to create a powerful and spreadable model for engaging youth as local journalists on issues of public concern in their communities. Educators work alongside them to compose and tell these stories.

This initiative was supported through funding by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and was designed by teachers and youth from Writing Project sites across the country.

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.
