About

The Creative Youth Collective: Meet the next generation of storytellers

The Creative Youth Collective is a highly personalized, radically collaborative creative writing and photography mentorship experience. We guide young writers and photographers ages 10-18 through the entire creative process—from idea generation to publishing their own stories. Since our founding in 2022, we’ve published over 20 youth-authored books, with many more on the way.

At the Creative Youth Collective, storytelling is an art and a catalyst for good. As our young authors earn royalties from their book sales, they direct donations to causes they care about, and we match their contributions, enabling them to witness the impact of both their creativity and generosity in the real world.
