Dream Keepers Creative Writing Workshop unites parents, teachers, and professional writers-in-residence to teach youth how they can transform their lives and their communities through writing. Dream Keepers opens up quiet, safe spaces for young people to read and write and provides them with an online venue for sharing their work.
Moving Forward
Our dream is to teach our writing process to teachers, authors, and parents so that you can start a Dream Keeper group in your school, library, or church. (Wouldn't it be great to have a Dream Keeper group in every library?) Keep checking on this space for more information about the Dream Keeper participant and facilitator handbook, now in progress, and becoming certified Dream Keeper facilitator.
