Teens, This Is Your Time to Write!
Join the Long Island Writing Project this summer for a special workshop that guides teens in writing about their lives, experiences, and hopes for the future. Working in a creative workshop setting, we will tell our stories through personal essays, fiction, non-fiction, as well as poetry. We'll share ideas and respond to each other's work as we revise and refine our writing. Join this community of writers and find your voice and your genre. The workshop is open to students entering 8th grade- 12th grade in September 2023.
This year’s program will be held on the campus of Nassau Community College located in Garden City. Please be advised that transportation to and from campus will not be provided. Transportation will remain the responsibility of the participant.
The retreat has a rolling admissions policy, so applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. Space is limited.

The Long Island Writing Project
The LIWP comprises teachers from kindergarten through university. Our seminar leaders are outstanding educators from different grade levels and disciplines in local schools, and we have a strong, ongoing partnership with Hofstra University's Department of Literacy Studies. LIWP teacher-consultants keep up with research and changes in education and their work is grounded in practical classroom approaches. Through our model of teachers teaching teachers, participants in the LIWP strengthen the classroom strategies they already find effective in teaching writing and develop new ones.
One of the most important foundational beliefs of our Project is that teachers improve their knowledge of teaching writing by writing themselves. Another is that the best way to improve our own teaching is through sharing what works with other effective teachers. We welcome your inquiries, and look forward to writing, learning and teaching with you.
The Long Island Writing Project at SUNY Nassau Community College is an approved Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) pursuant to Section 80-6 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, New York State Education Department (NYSED).
