Lake Erie Ink

Lake Erie Ink: a writing space for youth, was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide a creative environment where young people can express themselves through writing. Our journey began in 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio, inspired by the belief that everyone has a story to tell, and every story deserves to be heard.

From humble beginnings, Lake Erie Ink has grown into a vibrant community resource, welcoming young writers from diverse backgrounds. Our programs are designed to ignite imagination, build confidence, and develop critical skills through creative expression. We offer workshops, after-school programs, and summer camps, all led by experienced educators and artists dedicated to nurturing the next generation of storytellers.
