Overview
Every time we ask students to write about themselves or their communities, we are asking them to be vulnerable. We are asking them to examine the world in which they live, break down their protective walls, and expose themselves to the feelings that result from the broken barriers. Therefore, when we ask students to write, we are asking them to be courageous enough to share their truths with us, despite the intense level of openness required to do so. Yet, even though it requires students to be vulnerable, writing enables them to name problems they face, to show adults assets where we might see deficits, and to reframe who they are. This idea of writing as a vulnerable yet beneficial practice drives the work of the Deep Center, a nonprofit organization in Savannah, Georgia. Deep was created with the mission to empower young people to thrive as learners, community leaders, and agents of change.
