PEN/Faulkner's Summer Writing Programs bring summer literacy activities to students around the District of Columbia. Our teen program, AMPLIFIED, is a nine-day intensive creative writing program for high school students entering 9th-12th grades and recent high school graduates. Under the guidance of instructors, young writers participate in a variety of activities, workshops, field trips, and craft discussions in a supportive atmosphere that values risk taking as an important part of the writing process.
