I'm so happy to learn that 916 Ink, a Sacramento non-profit dedicated to increasing youth literacy through creative writing, just won $33000 in grants to work with over 260 incarcerated youth and low-income kids in Sacramento in fall 2016!
Over the past three years, I've been fortunate to be involved with 916 Ink programs at the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility. It's important and, sometimes, life-changing, for Incarcerated youth to become published authors. It's also important that their stories reach a range of readers. Below are books from detention facility writers. The $33,000 grant money means soon there will be many more such books, many more such published writers.
