The Hawkins Project

The Hawkins Project, founded by Dave Eggers and Amanda Uhle, encourages curiosity, awakens joy, and celebrates individuality. With a commitment to empathy and inclusion, the foundation creates and funds courageous literary, visual, public, and other creative works that advance this vision. 

In 2018, The Hawkins Project presented the inaugural International Congress of Youth Voices, a gathering of 100 extraordinary young writers and activists. Their landmark meeting in San Francisco (August 3 to 5, 2018) resulted in a student-written manifesto, published by The Guardian.
