Young Students Learn and Share in The Write Field
Young Students Learn and Share in The Write Field
The Write Field Program is a writing and public speaking program for minority middle school and high school girls and boys. We are recruiting for the 2025-26 school year.
The Poynter Institute’s Write Field Program, now heading into its fifteenth year, invests in young men and women in St. Petersburg, Florida, so that they become more confident and knock their school work out of the park. This free, academic year-long program teaches African American and Hispanic middle schoolers how to be better writers, communicators and students. They will study hip hop. They’ll meet a Tampa Bay Ray. With professional journalists as their mentors, they’ll even get better grades.
For questions or to participate in the 2025-26 program, please email Andrew DeLong at writefield@poynter.org for a sign-up form.
