The Greater Seattle Bureau of Fearless Ideas is a corps of youth and adults, staff and volunteers, families and local citizens who believe that the power of words, well-written and well-spoken, can open doors to important opportunities. Our tutoring, writing, and publishing programs prepare young people, ages 6 to 18, for a successful future by developing strong writing skills, championing diverse communication styles, and motivating young people to share their stories. Programs at each Fearless Ideas center reach into the surrounding neighborhood to involve adults and businesses in helping youth become engaged citizens and confident leaders. All programs are free and open to families from any socio-economic background.

Guests enjoy orchardist J. Gilbert Smith's 1905 Craftsman house furnished in the time of the Great Depression and interactive outdoor agricultural exhibits like a restored tractor kids can climb on. Other programs include third and fourth grade curriculum tours for local school children, annual essay contest, lectures, workshops, oral history collections, a traveling Ohlone kit, and much more.
