Opportunities For Educators 

​

TEACH! WRITE! PLAY! FELLOWSHIPS

Deadline for Submissions: 2020 Fellowship Closed, Stay Tuned for 2021 Fellowship Information  

​

We are proud to announce The Carol Brown Goldberg and Henry Goldberg Teach! Write! Play! Fellowships, to support educators and writers who work with young people across the globe.

These fellowships were created to support the work of individuals who nurture, listen to, and promote the creative voices of our young people. We believe that the hearts and minds of our young people are central to the health of our collective future. By attending The Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing, our fellowship winners can bring lessons of creativity and craft back into the lives of the young people they work with, and in this way support the next generation of creative thinkers. We are interested in applications from a wide array of cultural backgrounds and programming (including educators, after-school program staff, and social workers). Application for these fellowships is open to anyone who works with youth, age 21 or younger, through public/community programming. The awards provide funding to attend a week of choice at the MVICW Summer Writers' Conference. Full Fellowship recipients will receive the full retreat package of tuition and lodging for a week of choice at this year's MVICW Summer Writers' Conference. Runner-Up Fellowship Recipients will receive $500 towards the cost of tuition.
