A Career Exploration Initiative of the Summer Journalism Institute
The Castle Group
The Castle Group partnered with WriteBoston to build a multifaceted and sustainable program that helps the organization achieve its goal of creating stronger, better, lifelong writers in underserved Boston Public School communities. Castle annually hosts students for a day-long career exploration event filled with networking, creative writing and media relations workshops, and social media coaching. Everyone at Castle, from public relations to event management teams, participates in the planning and execution. The students are able to see and experience a women-owned small business in action and interact with professionals who have used writing skills to further their careers and continue to use them every day. Students learn skills that they can use both in their educational and professional careers.
