The Youth Voices Network at Day One is searching for poets, short story writers, essayists, and other creative writers to showcase the empowerment of New York City high school students to speak out against domestic violence. This cycle’s theme is “A New York City Fairy Tale.” What would a present-day New York City fairy tale look like? How would this feature a healthy relationship – one based on equality and respect?

Day One partners with New York City youth to end dating abuse and domestic violence through community education, legal advocacy, supportive services and leadership development.
