About us

This is a youth-powered social network and multimedia publishing platform that was started in 2003 by a group of teachers from local sites of the National Writing Project.

We merged several earlier blogging projects. We have found that there are many advantages to bringing students together in one site that lives beyond any particular class. It’s easier for individual students to read and write about their own passions, to connect with other students, comment on each other’s work, and create multimedia posts for each other. Further, it’s been exciting for us to pool our knowledge about curriculum, connected learning, and digital literacies.

There are over 10,000 posts and over 17,000 comments by young people on the site on topics as diverse as the American Dream, Shakespeare, and sports as well as original poems and stories.

Youth Voices is a platform for youth to write about their interests, both in school and outside of school: what they are reading, what their hobbies or future careers might be, what they enjoy in their spare time. Like all of us, students follow our national leadership and form opinions. They are also welcome to write about those topics as well.

Youth Voices is fully non-partisan and welcomes youth of all types, from all regions, and with all viewpoints. Educators support youth in writing and thoughtfully responding to each other through the use of commenting guides, using tags to show common interests, playlists to support self-guided inquiry; opinions expressed by writers are their own.

If being part of such a community makes sense to you, we invite you to join us. We welcome all youth and any teacher interested in having students publish online and participate in the give and take of a social network like Youth Voices.

Recent Comments

  • Angie on “with these hands he at­tacked the keyboard like he was beating the brains out of someone he remembered.”
  • Angie on I'm guessing since he probably worked far away for a while he wasn't able to really spend time with Tish, so the news might be a bit of a shock to him.
  • Nico on its nice that they are celebrating that they are gonna have a new family member. They want to make Tish feel supported
  • Nico on they seem to get a lot of harassments from people but their family is still supportive and that's what matters
  • Nico on He is saying that the white man likes hearing the black man suffer. He is fed up and trying to show how the white man is affecting black people
  • Nico on This shows Fonny cares for her. He is truly in love.
  • Nico on her characters confidence develops in the end showing her character building over time
  • Gerardo on Body positivity
  • Cristian on Why people are protesting and getting mad at the death of innocent Black people
  • Drew on Fonny is being such a gentlemen by taking her to her house and making sure she gets there safely.
  • Drew on Tish's mom is very supportive about fonny and tish's baby.
  • Amra on agree shes a strong women.. that could be really stressfull
  • Mario on Question
  • Ocean on The author is saying that he became an preacher and I think he chose this job because he wanted to excel at something and he was bored, But another reason is maybe James wanted to be distracted from all the gang related issues
  • Ocean on If there story is in NYC why is the book called If Beale street Could Talk?
  • Ocean on This sentence makes me think that Mrs Hunt want's Fonny to be in jail, what makes me think that is the sentence where she says” I think this is the Lord's way of making my boy think on his sins. What sins?
  • Ocean on This reminds me of the Kalief Browder case were a black man was accused of stealing a back pack and was sent to Rikers Island for 3 years. He never stood trial or was found guilty of any crime, he spent three years in prison.
  • Ocean on This is a very explicit comment but I think what Daniel is saying is that the white man gets pleasure from hearing the black man suffer. I think Baldwin is talking through Daniel and is sharing his views as a black man, and what the white man has done to
  • Ocean on I think this shows that she has a lot of anxiety about something happening to Fonny. The dreams you have have some truth about your thoughts.
  • Rojo on familys were bigger back then
  • Rojo on society has changed a lot since then
  • Rojo on baby causing alot of stress
  • Isabell on Woah,by this tish should realize that she likes/loves fonny. Just by a touch on a forehead reminds her of fonny. She's in loveee.
  • Rojo on They have a good lawyer
  • Rojo on there was a lot of antisemitism during this time
  • Ian on The author is saying that he became an preacher and I think he chose this job because he wanted to excel at something and he was bored, But another reason is maybe James wanted to be distracted from all the gang related issues
  • Ocean on I don't think that Fonny believes in Mr. Hayward. I believe in this statement because of his reaction to Tish's question.
  • Ian on This sentence makes me think that Mrs Hunt want's Fonny to be in jail, what makes me think that is the sentence where she says” I think this is the Lord's way of making my boy think on his sins. What sins?
  • Dehao on I think James meant that Daniel was running out of friends. The words familiar faces means friends.
  • Kaimea on I also agree, they don't allow other people's doubt, to come between them. They just keep moving because they are confident in themselves.
  • Isabell on Tish's mom is very supportive about fonny and tish's baby.
  • Dehao on This is a very explicit comment but I think what Daniel is saying is that the white man gets pleasure from hearing the black man suffer. I think Baldwin is talking through Daniel and is sharing his views as a black man, and what the white man has done to
  • Isabell on I find this actually quite funny how her name is Clementine but don't call her anywhere near related to the name, she goes by Tish.
  • Isabell on Tish was for sure having this baby. Fonny and her both wanted it. She knows it's good for them. Even though he is in jail she still is 100% sure.
  • Kaimea on Opinion
  • Isabell on Fonny was the type of boyfriend who cares a lot and wants to make sure that she's happy. He asked her a bunch of questions of what she would like.
  • Alexis on observation
  • Alondra on Lord of the Flies: The Realities of Having Power
  • Shirley Villalvaso on Are monkeys taking over Thailand?
  • Lizbeth on Movie popcorn at home?
  • Juan on Champions League
  • Leo on I think that the parents are just disappointed in the oldest child for not getting married.
  • Leo on I think it is interesting that he is so happy she is having a baby even though the father is in jail.
  • Leo on It sound like he was abused very badly. Nothing he could have done should give him that type of punishment.
  • Leo on I think that she is trying to say that she cares more because she loves him. The same goes if you hate somebody you will pay more attention to what is happening to them.
  • Leo on I think this shows that she has a lot of anxiety about something happening to Fonny. The dreams you have have some truth about your thoughts.
  • Ashley on Struggles of Indigenous Women
  • Osiris on Body positivity
