PRISM: Youth Writing Workshops (Winter & Spring 2025)

PRISM is a monthly creative writing workshop in collaboration with GLYS WNY, Teen Reality Theatre, and Just Buffalo Literary Center. All LGBTQ+ youth and friends are welcome to participate!

This workshop series is ideal if you:

• Want to express themselves freely, without rules or inhibitions
• Love the idea of trying new things and new ways of doing things
• Want to connect with new friends with similar questions and desires
• Feel ready (though maybe a little scared) to share your writing in a group
• Are interested in exploring your own lives as writing material and sharing some of what comes up (we tend to get a little personal)
• Want to learn new things!

If you attend in person, JBWC doors open at 3:30pm. Feel free to drop in early to relax with a book, work on your writing, try a prompt, or catch up with your creative peers!

• The JBWC Creative Writing Programs for Youth are FREE and aimed at young students aged 12–18.
• This youth writing workshop is hybrid—you can attend in-person or from home!
• ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: If you have any questions/issues accessing any of these opportunities, please let us know and we will work with you to make sure you can participate.
