Our Programs

Loudoun Community Press provides a number of adolescent and teen arts and publishing programs. Each year, our Board of Directors selects a theme and publishing project for young people to produce together for Loudoun County. Loudoun Community Press Cohorts meet weekly and are led by a Student Board of Directors. Together they participate in group activities, lead arts and education programming for partner organizations, and support other program participants, such as the Brambleton Fall Festival, Sterling Community Center's Black History Month Expo, Loudoun Youth's Claude Moore Community Builder program, and the Loudoun County Public Library's Write On Contest.  Loudoun Community Press Cohorts are required to complete editing and publishing training. Applicants to this program must be Loudoun County residents and rising 9th to 12th grade students. The 2024-2025 Cohort will publish Zines, a podcast, write a grant, and publish a print literary and art magazine.

Loudoun County Magazine is dedicated to vibrant Loudoun County and is produced in three parts: by high school students attending Loudoun County Public Schools, writers participating in Loudoun County Public Library’s writing contests, and residents served by Loudoun non-profit organizations. Loudoun County Magazine is overseen by the Board of Directors of Loudoun Community Press and is an umbrella literacy publication intended to: 1) connect Loudoun students and residents through arts and publishing programs and projects, 2) encourage adolescents and teens to explore the arts, and 3) provide Loudoun County with learning and dialogue opportunities. Loudoun County Magazine is available online.
