ABOUT
SEA Us Write & Design is a 12-week long fellowship program for youth who are writers and artists and want to learn:

1) Explore how to build a career as a writer and artist.
2) Explore how to make sustainable income as a writer and artist

Through the creative workshops, youth will meet with various established SEA writers and artists who will share their journey, creative skills, and resources.

In addition, these workshops strive to strengthen youth as a SEA and creative individual through creative methods by providing a safe and supportive space, such as:

1) Building relationships/brotherhood/sisterhood
2) Exploring intersecting identities
3) Empowering voices
4) Fostering individual growth and success

Youth will receive a $500 stipend for participating in the program. In addition, they will receive a small budget to curate their products and artwork for the exhibition.
