StudioSTL Write and Shine

StudioSTL helps students discover, develop,and celebrate their individual voices through writing.

Mission

StudioSTL is a nonprofit writing center dedicated to helping kids, ages 6-18, build their writing skills. We believe that writing is an indispensable life tool and that great success can be made with one-on-one attention. Designed to captivate both reluctant and super-motivated writers, our after-school writing, field trips, workshops, summer camp and publishing opportunities help kids embrace their inner super-star. Our programs are held at our Grand Center writing studio, which we have designed with the area's best and brightest, as a creative place to nurture self-expression.

Vision

We envision a world where all youth embrace the power of their individual voices and are seen, valued and heard in their community.

Pentimento Returns in Spring 2012

Pentimento logo In every community, rich stories lie around each corner, in vacant buildings, in sleepy restaurants and overgrown lots. StudioSTL is looking forward to continuing its partnership with the Midwest Center for Media on The St. Louis Storymapping Project, which collects these stories and personal histories through a series of site-oriented video narratives. The stories are shot and edited by young people who live in the community. Watch past student videos from the Storymapping Project with its focus on Wellston.
