In Otherworldly Pursuits at the Dawn of Future Horizons, stories brim with eccentric characters, whimsical worlds, and a fantastical swirl of emotions. Written by Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti students, with support from volunteers and staff, these wondrous tales are a culmination of many dedicated hours of writing, revising, learning, and growing. We hope the otherworldly pursuits within the imaginative writings of 826michigan after-school students inspire you to discover future horizons! Through 826michigan youth literacy and writing programs, school-aged students are inspired and encouraged to write with confidence, creativity, and most importantly, fun. By working in small groups with adult volunteers, students build a connection with supportive mentors from their community—encouraging them to express and develop their individual voices through writing.
