We are looking for a professional writer to help a group of 10-20 middle-school children (ages 11-14) to write their personal stories, poems, essays and articles for a newsletter that will be distributed to their families, friends and others at a major youth agency that provides services to children who have been exposed to vi0lence. They have a brand new, state-of-the-art building located near the 101 freeway at the Alvarado exit.
Our Newsletter Workshop will take place during the month of August (August 1-August 31) on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Classes will be around two hours long. The exact time is flexible as long as they are between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. We will pay you $75/per each two hour class. There may be some additional work needed on your own time. For instance, while they have a computer lab, you may have to type up a child's writing if they can't access a computer. You MUST know how to use Microsoft Word to create this newsletter (not any other software).

* You must have previous experience teaching writing to youth;
