PenTales is proud to announce PenTales NYC, a community project launched in November 2009 in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation.

With the help of a smart, passionate team of PenTales Fellows from top universities in the New York City area, PenTales is teaching creative writing to after-school kids, adults, and seniors throughout the City.

The PenTales classes are based out of public recreation centers in the West Village, MN; Chelsea, MN; Crown Heights, BK; South Bronx, BX; and Astoria, QN.

As all PenTales projects, the PenTales NYC aims to promote literacy and a sense of community by encouraging people from all walks of life to share their stories with one another.
