About this organization
Mission
The Telling Room is a literary arts education nonprofit whose mission is to empower youth through writing and share their voices with the world. Focused on young writers ages 6 to 18, we seek to build confidence and provide real audiences for our students. We work with students who may be reluctant to write as well as those who already identify as writers, including children and teens who are a part of Maine's growing community of immigrants and refugees, those with emotional and behavioral challenges, students struggling in mainstream classrooms, homeschoolers enthusiastic to join a creative community, incarcerated youth, and passionate young writers who benefit from support beyond what their schools are able to provide. All core programs are 100% free to students and their families.
