Authoring Action

Authoring Action is an arts and education organization that provides tools to youth for their personal success in any career, calling and life path. Authoring Action is led by Executive Director and Co-founder Reverend Lynn Rhoades, M. Div, and Nathan Ross Freeman, Artistic Director, along with Program & Outreach Coordinator Love' Lemon, M.Div. Together with local professional artists who teach their craft, teens develop artistic skills through collaboration. Authoring Action provides a 5-week summer intensive, year round after school programming, and Outreach Ensemble, along with a filmmaking program "Just Us", for court-referred teens.

Authoring Action develops teen authors who create original written works from life stories and societal issues. Our students are authors of their own lives once they have learned to think analytically, present confidently and express themselves dynamically through creative writing, speech, film and design.
