YCteen invites motivated students interested in writing personal stories to apply for our fall writing internship. YCteen writers are mentored by a professional editor as they learn memoir-writing and journalism skills. YCteen writers get to be a voice for other teens, and their work is published in print and online. Writers must be between the ages of 15 and 20. The YCteen office is located in midtown Manhattan and is open to writers from 1:00-6:00pm, Monday through Thursday. Within that time frame, writers must commit to a minimum of two days a week, two hours a day (for a total of at least 4 hours per week). Writers must commit to participating for a minimum of 3 months. Interested students who meet these requirements should click here for more information and to submit an online application. Applicants are encouraged to read stories on YCteen’s website, YCteen.org, to get a feel for the work.
