The Hawkins Project, founded in 2017 by Dave Eggers and Amanda Uhle, creates and funds courageous literary, visual, public, and other creative works with a special emphasis on supporting youth writing centers around the world. We make grants to preselected organizations whose values and purpose match our own. Donate below to support the International Library of Youth Writing. Email Amanda Uhle to learn more about our other programs, or to support them: amanda@thehawkinsproject.org.
In 2018, The Hawkins Project presented the inaugural International Congress of Youth Voices, a gathering of 100 extraordinary young writers and activists. Their landmark meeting in San Francisco (August 3 to 5, 2018) resulted in a student-written manifesto, published by The Guardian.
