Identity Pages

Identity Pages is a writing mentorship program for high school-aged youth where they can create their own stories based on their life experiences in a supportive atmosphere. The main goal of the program is to provide a place where youth can connect with peers and develop their skills and confidence in writing.

The thematic focus of the program is the concept of identity in its multiple forms and how identity has impacted their lives.

At the end of the program, each youth will have created a short story on this theme. They will also gain knowledge on potential avenues to publishing their work.

More than a writing mentorship, Identity Pages will provide a place for youth to share experiences, broaden their horizons, build peer connections, and develop their unique voice and confidence.  

Some of the benefits of the program include:

• Fostering self-expression and helping youth find their voice in the world
• Building self-esteem and confidence
• Developing writing skills and helping develop a different medium of self-expression and communication
• Providing opportunities for connection with new peers around a common interest
• Fostering a sense of belonging to a creative community

Identity Pages is delivered by co-creators and co-facilitators Daniela and Andreina with cohorts of maximum 10 participants each.
