The National Youth Foundation works with educators and community leaders to identify students to participate in our Youth Writing Workshop.  With six to eight writing workshops, students learn to process of working in teams to research, develop, write, edit, illustrate and publish an original book.  The creative process of working in teams helps provide a natural environment to practice editing, teamwork and communication skills necessary for future success.  All students involved earn a sense of pride and accomplishment from development and publication of their culturally enriching team book.  The books are published in hard copy and donated to local public libraries.
