Creative Communities Online
During this time of social distancing and staying at home, Lake Erie Ink is sustaining our identity as a writing “space” for youth by moving to online spaces!
Creative Communities Online with Lake Erie Ink will begin on April 1st with a cornucopia of spring offerings, from a National Poetry Month Challenge to DnD Campaigns.
Creative Communities Online will use Zoom Meetings to bring youth of all ages together to talk, write and create. Click on the program description below to find out more.
Space in each program is limited so please sign up only for the programs you are committed to attending. Click here to register!
