In 2008, Podium was created to give Richmond high school students the opportunity to explore their passion for the literary arts while improving upon essential writing and communication skills. We provide writing workshops for students that encourage creative expression while developing essential writing and communication skills.
One of our most impactful programs is the Writer Leadership Conference. From advanced writing to networking, teens from across Richmond come together at VCU to learn from local professionals about writing, owning your own business, using writing skills in diverse ways, and so much more.
