Transformational Storytelling
CES is pleased to announce that it has received funding from the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation's New ERA Women Writers Grant again this fall of 2022. These funds will allow us to offer a second week-long summer workshop - Gathering Stories: Digital Storytelling Workshop for Young Women in 11th-12th grades - July 10-14, 2023, as we did in July 2021.
We will also be organizing a series of related workshops and fun gatherings to offer digital storytelling opportunities to other high school students and to build bridges with high school writing instructors in the Rochester Area.
