DREAMing Out Loud is a paid, tuition-free creative writing workshop series for young immigrant writers, non-citizens and citizens, and primarily those who are DACA recipients, and/or DREAMers who came to the United States when they were children. By providing community and professional support to the next generation of immigrant writers, the program seeks to counter anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. In 2026, three workshops will be held in person, and two workshops will be conducted virtually. If chosen, attendance and commitment to the program, whether in-person or virtual, is expected and required. Applicants must identify as an immigrant, reside and/or go to college in New York City, and be 18 years or older to apply. Only 40 participants are selected and provided a stipend to develop original fiction, poetry, nonfiction, plays, and picture book writing
