About Us

We believe that while nurturing kids’ writing can give them access to the world, fostering their creativity may allow them change the world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to prepare kids for life’s adventures by supporting their writing and amplifying their voices.
At the CYC, kids become published authors, leading to a strong sense of identity and an enthusiasm for learning. Our programs are offered, at no cost to families, to students aged 6-18 attending Grand Rapids Public Schools or living in Grand Rapids.
