WHAT WE DO

Our Mission

To transform the lives of individuals and the world through the power of creative writing, spoken word, visual and media arts, film-making and leadership education that promotes positive systemic change.

As a literary and performance arts organization we create an opportunity for participation in the arts for youth and adults who would not ordinarily have the opportunity to discover their authentic voices through artistic development and/or who may lack one or more critical support systems.

Authoring Action authors experience the power of the arts and creative writing as a transformational life process. Our signature creative writing process and spoken word methods provide tools to discover authentic voices, explore and reshape lives. 

Authoring Action is devoted to developing authors, community leaders and advocates for social change - redefining learning through the arts and supporting stronger communities.

Authoring Action is founded to develop teen authors who create original written works from life stories and societal predicaments. We develop forums in collaboration with professional artists to engage the world through spoken word on stage and screen, and in design and publication.

Our determination is:

to empower ourselves with tools for self-development and vocational choice;

to empower ourselves as an ensemble through the Arts and Impact Communication;

to empower ourselves to exercise our civic, social and economic rights and to educate and re-educate our evolving society.

Whenever we engage you ~

Our determination is to mean everything we say and do.

Our determination is to rock your world and move you towards change.

We can only do that if we are daring, sincere, honest and

willing to share who we are.

We are Authoring Action!
