Meet the next generation of storytellers.

In the Creative Youth Collective, we help curious, creative t(w)eens turn off the noise, tune into their ideas, and most importantly, share their stories.

Storytelling is self-discovery.

Through storytelling, t(w)eens process emotions, develop empathy, and imagine the future. It’s a powerful process of self-discovery. With the ever-increasing temptation to outsource creativity to AI and the confusion between genuine storytelling and content creation that proliferates on social media, now more than ever, it’s crucial that we support youth in telling and sharing their stories.

Welcome to the Creative Youth Collective

The Creative Youth Collective is a highly personalized, radically collaborative creative writing and photography mentorship experience. We guide curious, creative t(w)eens through the entire creative process, from idea generation to publishing their own stories.

Whether your creative kid has so many ideas that they don't know where to start, or they’ve been developing their favorite character, series, or art practice for years, the Creative Youth Collective provides all the support they need to consistently and confidently realize and share their stories and take their creativity to the next level.

We’ve published over 15 books by writers, photographers, and artists between the ages of 10-18, and so many more are currently in the pipeline! We’d be honored to help your creative t(w)een publish theirs, too.
