In Y-WE Create, we focus on exploring a variety of creative mediums in a safe space that encourages trying new things and taking creative risks. As with all Y-WE programs, Create is free to attend and open to young women, trans, non-binary, and gender expansive youth ages 13-19. Create is offered as a school-year cohort (with different creative mediums explored in the Fall, Winter, & Spring) as well as a week-long summer camp.
Y-WE Create is made up of three 8-week sessions that allow participants to explore various arts and creative practices. We provide opportunities that encourage youth to expand their horizons and find their passions. In each session, participants will hear from a professional artist about their process, and engage with three different creative modalities by the end of the year.

I [am taking] away that I am a good person who can trust myself to take social and creative risks without the fear of making mistakes.
