DESCRIPTION:Register\nLast Saturday of Every Month 12-1:30pm cst via Zoom \nFor ages 13-19 years old \nAre you a teen who enjoys writing in their free time?

We’ll break the ice with one another and perform various writing exercises. You are encouraged to share your work with your peers and get constructive feedback\, but it is not required. Our only goal is to keep you writing! \nThis course is open to teen writers of any skill level. \nParticipants will leave the writing circle with:  \n\nNew\, unique written work\nListening and sharing experience\nConstructive feedback to help improve their writing\n\nWant to learn more about our Teen Writing Circle? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions!\n \n\nDaniel Ramirez has been an educator for over 15 years. After studying History in grad school\, he tromped around the outdoors doing conservation with teenagers. Spending time as a Montessori educator revealed the power of incorporating creativity with learning. Encouraging youth to tap into their creative abilities convinced him to discover his own. Since then\, in addition to his original love of storytelling\, he’s found a penchant for calligraphy\, puppetry\, poetry\, and block printing. A San Antonio native\, he explores the crystalline waters of Central Texas in his free time. \n \n  \n
