Playing With Purpose
Playing with Purpose is a writing program designed by NYVGCC that brings comprehensive classes and workshops in journalism and game narrative to schools and shelters across New York City. We harness the power of games to reinforce writing fundamentals. Young writers are held to rigorous standards and inspired to produce work that rises above their grade level and exceeds their expectations.
The New York Videogame Critics Circle and Playing With Purpose are made possible by the support of our amazing donors and partners.
