One Earth Writing Seeks Teen Ambassadors

Much like music, the written word can connect people across racial, religious and socio-economic divides.

And getting people involved when they're young is critically important.

One Earth Writing is a local non-profit that aims to bring teens together through writing, and the organization is accepting applications for its second ambassador program. 

Ambassadors are teenagers interested in exploring their writing talent through a lens of identity. 

The second session is a two-week intensive program from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 10-20 at Christ Church Cranbrook. One Earth Writing accepts up to 15 participants, who may continue as Senior Ambassadors thereafter.

Founder and CEO Lynne Golodner visited the Fox2 News Studios Sunday with a few of the current teen ambassadors.

The deadline for submissions for the summer session is May 15. Finalists will be notified by June 1.
