    Journaling Journey From A-Zine!

    FREE Summer Program for Elementary School-Aged Children

    Parental registration required: https://tinyurl.com/InlandiaAtoZine

    Weekday sessions held via email and Zoom

    A is art + W is for words + Y is for YOU + Z is for zine!

    Looking for a low-key way to commune with creativity this summer? Join Inlandia on a Journaling Journey in June!

    Learn how to make a DIY zine, then fill it up with the alphabet and your imagination. With optional Monday through Thursdays check-ins and Friday read-arounds, you will soon be an indie author with your very own book!

    Led by a team of experienced young authors under the guidance of Inlandia Institute core staff, this program is free for elementary school-aged youth.

    How it works:

    During the month of June, a new daily prompt will be emailed each day. Complete at your own pace! Join us for the daily check-ins or just the weekly read-arounds, or participate completely via email.

    Parent/guardian registration required. If registering multiple children, only one form is required.

    Pretend Plumber: An Adventure tells the story Sarassine Anfang, a precocious, queer-curious Los Angeles teen, who grows so fed up with her wealthy, dysfunctional Jewish Hancock Park family that she decides to run away to her grandfather's Wilshire condo, and become a plumber. But her chocolate eating grandmother and her distracted parents have other ideas.
