What We Do
Through InsideOut’s creative writing programs, students learn to think broadly, create bravely, and share their voices with the wider world. We provide students ages 6-19 with opportunities for self-expression, mentoring, academic support, and a platform to be heard.
We have served 65,000 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.
This program shined a light on what I could do with words. Through writing, I found a new person that I didn’t see before.”
