This is my second year at the Voices Festival. The students helpers were incredibly kind, informative and caring. My first session was with a group of students I had last year. They were even more enthusiastic, excited and passionate than I remember! Watching the Festival create space for young writers to grow has been a very beautiful experience. Being part of the Festival has been amazing! Thank you!
