Kids & Teens Programs
We offer programs ranging from summer camps and after-school enrichments to college essay workshops to help nurture young writers' creativity. Our supportive environments foster social and emotional learning and strengthen literacy and writing skills.
From Elementary to College: Our Youth-Focused Programs
The Harvey Milk Center's seasonal shift to summer youth programs inspired us to expand our offerings to children and teens.
Every summer, we create nurturing environments for aspiring writers that we wished for in our childhoods.
Summer Camps with SF Rec & Park
We partner with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department to offer creative writing and storytelling programs at the Harvey Milk Summer Camp for the Arts (ages 8-11) and Young People's Teen Musical Theatre Camp (ages 12-17).
After-School Enrichment Programs
We also partnered with the San Francisco Unified School District to provide creative storytelling workshops for 2nd to 5th graders at New Traditions Elementary School.
Private Summer Camp at Harvey Milk Center
Starting in the second week of August, we have a Teen Creative Writing Summer Camp that welcomes public and private school students from across the city.
Essay Clinic
We also offer an Online Personal Statement workshop for high school students applying to college who want to refine their essays.
Individual Services
We hold private coaching and tutoring sessions for teens needing to improve their creative writing and essay skills. This service is open to teens and families worldwide.
