The Black Tie Guys youth mentoring program is expanding its career exploration series to include the field of creative writing.
During a session held Monday at the Powell Center, participants learned that creative writing can be more than just a hobby—it can be a profession with competitive pay ranging between $60,000 and $90,000 annually. The session introduced students to the many avenues available in the field, including writing commercials, cartoons, scripts, books, poems, raps, and other forms of literature.
The program, sponsored by Tab-N-Action, Inc., has previously highlighted careers in business ownership, sports administration, and computer technology. By spotlighting creative writing, leaders say they hope to inspire young men to think more broadly about their futures and the many ways they can apply their talents.
Organizers noted that the session is part of the group’s larger mission to provide mentoring and real-world exposure to promising career paths. The goal is to help participants not only develop skills but also recognize the value of their voices and ideas.
The Black Tie Guys continue to build a reputation for preparing young men for success by exposing them to opportunities that combine discipline, creativity, and leadership skills needed to succeed in the “Black Tie World!”
