Youth Program: Write Brain
Write Brain is a STEAM-based summer enrichment program for youth in 3rd-5th grades. Youth will be served breakfast and lunch and engage in a writing workshop. At the end of the six-week summer enrichment program, youth will have authored and illustrated their own book that they will receive, and in addition, one will be made public and shared with the community.

OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
Long before Urban Neighborhood Initiative was even an idea, neighborhood organizations were already hard at work, intent on improving and revitalizing the communities where they live. Our neighborhood partners have been, and are essential to, UNI’s success.
Our partners are building community gardens, orchards, and playgrounds, and working on streetscapes, new curbs, and sidewalks. They’re working to decrease crime and close drug houses. They’re developing block leader programs and hosting clean-up and dumpster days.
