Indigenous Youth Writing Program

by

Hangover Soup for the Spirit

Are you an Indigenous youth (15-25) interested in writing?
Come learn and get published with us!

This is a unique opportunity for Indigenous youth (ages 15-25) from the Greater Tkaronto Area to participate in a creative journey where your stories and artistic expressions will be developed, shared, and published. Whether you have prior experience or you are just starting out, everyone is welcome! 

The program includes four virtual writing sessions  on spoken word/poetry, biography, short stories and more, to help support you in developing your own piece. 

Sessions will take place for one-hour on Sundays in February from 1:00 – 2:00 pm PST, 4:00 – 5:00 pm EST, 5:00 – 6:00 pm AST.

Once you have created and submitted your writing piece, you will receive a cash honorarium and have the opportunity to have your work published, helping to honour, respect, and celebrate Indigenous cultures across Canada.

Think of Hangover Soup for the Spirit as more than just a project. It is a supportive collaborative community where young Indigenous voices can connect and thrive. This program offers training and workshops in creative writing such as poetry, short stories, and personal biographies. You’ll have the opportunity to work with mentors, gain new skills, and create alongside other Indigenous youth, producing a body of work that honours your unique perspective and connection to the land.
 

Please fill out this form to share your experiences, interests, and creative ideas with us. We can’t wait to learn about you and support your journey as you explore your creativity, build meaningful connections, and see your work published!
