Our Impact
94% of teachers say our program leads to greater student engagement with writing and strengthens students’ oral communication skills.
What We Do
Through InsideOut’s creative writing programs, students learn to think critically, create bravely, and share their voices with the world. We provide students ages 6-19 with opportunities for self-expression, mentoring, academic support, and a platform to be heard.
We have served 75,000 students and counting. At this crucial time in Detroit’s history, we provide youth with the creative tools to build the city and world they want to live in.
