By Young Writers

In 2021, Hinduism Today started a “Young Writers” program for middle and high school students age 12 to 18 under which they work directly with the magazine editors to develop articles on topics of their interest. The program is off to a great start already. If you’d like to join, contact letters@hindu.org. Be advised, however, that the program is selective and you must have your parent’s permission and be a devout Hindu.
