Brink Literacy Project

The Frames Comic Program is a co-created, co-facilitated, creative course that utilizes therapeutic practices and the power of storytelling to help students discover their passion, purpose, and power. This multi-module program helps our students dig into creative expression, gain vital mental health and mindfulness tools, and build essential personal resilience, communication tools, and community connection. Students develop their own graphic memoirs, all the while actively engaging in group therapeutic sessions, exploring past decisions in their lives in a safe and supportive space, and creating and mentally solidifying a positive vision and pathway for their future.

F(r)iction in the Classroom is an innovative, co-created, choose-your-own-adventure style curriculum designed to help students discover their passion, purpose, and power. The program is taught in partnership with middle- and high-school teachers, librarians, and after-school program providers. Students have the option to collaborate with F(r)iction editors and publish their creative work with Brink and in doing so improve their resumes, receive guidance for writing in higher education, and learn to articulate their passion powerfully and effectiveyl while building a pathway to achieve their goals and aspirations.

The Literary Tarot engages people with literary classics and encourages community connection and dialogue through the intersection of tarot, art, and reading. Brink pulled together an all-star team of 78 beloved authors including Margaret Atwood, Stephen Fry, Roxane Gay, Patrick Rothfuss, and Celeste Ng who each paired one literary work with a card in the tarot deck. As with all of Brinks projects, 100% of the proceeds go directly to our nonprofit mission to change the world through storytelling.

Brinks publishing internship program seeks to bring underrepresented and diverse voices into the publishing industry itself. Through our fifteen-week program, interns learn the essential ins and outs of the industry and become crucial contributors to the positive social change Brink affects every day.
