Mission Statement
Wick Juniors offers opportunities for young writers to have a positive experience exercising their own capacities for self-expression.
We achieve this via a combination of a supportive community of peers, our passionate trained teaching artists, and our unique collaboration with the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park which helps us to offer active, hands-on experiences in the Park. Together these elements help your writers ask important questions about their place in the world.
