Youth Communication provides powerful, teen-written stories
and professional development to help educators and youth workers engage young people.
Our literacy-rich training model helps teachers, after-school workers, counselors, and other professionals to connect with the teens they serve and build their social and emotional learning skills. Since 1980, Youth Communication has created resources for over 35,000 educators, reaching more than two million young people.

Our stories, developed in a rigorous writing program, are uniquely compelling to youth whose voices are missing from mainstream content. The stories model social and emotional learning, and show teens how to make positive changes in their lives. They also motivate teens to read and write.
