Empowered AI is proud to officially announce the return of our Young Empowered Authors Summer Cohort! 🥳
📅 June 19 – July 2
⏰ 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
💡 Cost: FREE
This program is designed to equip youth with the skills, confidence, and tools to become published authors—while introducing them to the power of AI in storytelling, design, and creative development.
Participants will:
• Write, illustrate, and publish their own book
• Learn practical applications of AI tools
• Develop literacy, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking
To remove barriers to access:
• Each student will receive a laptop to keep
• Daily meals will be provided
We are grateful for the partners making this possible:
• Huntington National Bank for providing laptops for our students
• The City of Toledo for funding this summer programming initiative
As a culminating experience, students will participate in what we are building to be the largest gathering of young authors in the world at our annual Publisher’s Party, hosted at the incredible Vista on the Docks.
Special thanks to Vista on the Docks for their partnership and support in helping us elevate this experience for our community.
🚨 Capacity is very limited, and we expect this cohort to fill quickly.
If you know a young person who would benefit from this opportunity, encourage them to apply today.

Let’s continue building a future where every child has the opportunity to become an author.
