Young Authors Greenhouse is an non-profit organization that works with youth in Louisville Kentucky. Our mission is to use writing as a tool to amplify youth voices in our community. Volunteers are an important part of our organizational model. At Young Authors Greenhouse, our volunteers help to provide one - on - one support to the students we serve through our programming. Every year, we publish a book with student writing called Young Authors Book Project. This year, we are creating an anthology of young voices across Louisville from three different schools. One of the programs - called Girlhood in Color - will be for young middle-school aged girls of color where they will write poetry and non-fiction based on their experiences. Our volunteers will be important for mentoring, conferencing with students on their writing, and creating a supportive atmosphere:
