Partner with Us!

Authoring Action’s non-traditional approaches to writing and public speaking—“Writing Through the Senses” and “Sharing Eye-to Eye”—have proven successful in moving youth beyond preconceived notions or labels of ability to achievements never dreamed possible. That’s why we want to partner with you...to reach youth whose lives you touch every day and/or support your work to build stronger communities for us all. 

Assegai Outreach Engagements

The Assegai Outreach Ensemble is a partner and resource for educational, cultural, social and civic organizations seeking youth engagement and insight to achieve healthy, thriving and unified communities. The Ensemble stands ready to engage your organization and its constituents with a broad portfolio of original written and spoken word works or pieces "written to assignment" in support of issue-specific events focused building social capital and strengthening community.

Authoring Action Intensive for Adults

A five-day workshop designed to demonstrate the power of Authoring Action methods through immersion in the process. Participants will experience “Writing Through the Senses” and “Sharing Eye-to-Eye” methods and outcomes, developing original written works of different genres for oral delivery in a culminating program. Strategies for integrating methods in support of standard course of study and/or program goals will be discussed. For groups of 20-25.

Authoring Action Intensive for Youth

A five-day creative writing and spoken word journey in transformation, empowerment and possibility for middle and high school aged youth. Designed to motivate students of all academic achievement levels to put pen to paper, Authoring Action methods level the playing field, validating life experience as the point of departure for exploring self and the larger world. Youth will access their unique points of view and bring them to life through monologues, poems, essays, editorials, raps and lyrics delivered in a culminating program. For groups of 15-20.
