Our World, My Voice (Section 1)

In an increasingly complex world, this program offers girls a safe space for both introspection and connection, reflecting upon current events while clarifying their hopes, aspirations and personal values. Each week, we discuss a collection of carefully curated, feminist-focused news stories, poems and narrative excerpts and girls are empowered to process their thoughts through self-reflective writing. As girls write, they come to understand their unique strengths, and how they want to use their voice as leaders, world-builders and change-makers. (It's also great training for the college essay process, learning to tell your story in an authentic, inspiring way.)

At The Intuitive Writing Project, we use the Amherst Writing Method, a methodology rooted in the belief that everyone is a writer with their own unique voice. We support the discovery and development of one’s voice by ensuring that all feedback remains positive, focused on the strength of the writing. The more students write and share, the more they learn to believe in themselves, both as writers and as people.

If your child doesn't absolutely love their first class, just let us know before the second class and we will provide a full refund. We want your child to choose writing, purely for the joy of it!

To ensure that each student gets personalized attention and mentoring, we limit class size to 6.
