Our Story
Upwright Youth was born out of a shared passion for storytelling and a deep belief in the transformative power of writing. As a group of dedicated individuals, we came together with a vision to create a platform that empowers young writers to explore their creativity, embrace their unique voices, and make a positive impact on the world.
​
Our story begins with a simple realization: that every young person has a story worth telling. We wanted to provide a space where they could unleash their imagination, express their thoughts, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals. And so, Upwright Youth was born.
​
Through our innovative online platform, we offer a range of programs designed to nurture young writers and help them develop their skills. From creative writing workshops to mentorship programs, we provide personalized guidance and support to each individual, tailoring our approach to their specific needs and aspirations.
​
But Upwright Youth is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community, a place where young writers can find inspiration, encouragement, and lifelong friendships. Our online forums and virtual meetups create a safe and inclusive space for collaboration and connection. Here, young writers can share their work, receive feedback, and learn from their peers.
​
What sets Upwright Youth apart is our commitment to real-world impact. We believe that writing has the power to create change, and we encourage our young writers to explore important issues, challenge the status quo, and raise their voices for causes they believe in. Through storytelling, they can inspire others, ignite conversations, and make a difference in their communities.
​
Our journey so far has been nothing short of extraordinary. We've witnessed young writers blossom into confident storytellers, winning awards, publishing their work, and even speaking at prestigious events. But it's the intangible transformations that truly make our hearts soar: the newfound self-belief, the sharpened critical thinking skills, and the deep sense of purpose that writing has instilled in our participants.
​
As we look to the future, we're excited to expand our reach, touch more lives, and unlock the potential of even more young writers. We're constantly innovating, introducing new programs, and partnering with organizations that share our vision. Together, we can create a world where writing is celebrated, where diverse voices are heard, and where young writers can confidently step into their own narratives.
​
So, whether you're a young writer seeking guidance, a passionate mentor eager to make a difference, or a supporter looking to invest in the future of storytelling, we invite you to join us on this incredible journey. Together, let's unleash the power of words and inspire a generation of Upwright storytellers.
