"The Write Way"

Youth Creative Writing and Publication

Some of the PRYME bureaus in the neighborhoods recruit middle school and high school students to do creative written and spoken word in poetry and story. Like the groups doing radio and video, these groups meet weekly for 8 weeks at a time to listen to guest speakers and take field trips. The youth then write about their experiences. They select some of their materials to print in a regional newsletter for youth throughout the metropolitan Cleveland area. PRYME Youth Radio producers help the younger teens turn their print material into radio scripts.
