This is lovely. I wish we could have such a program here in Nigeria. Kids need to start understanding that the old system of getting a job after college no longer works. They also need to see that there are legal ways with which you can make money on the internet.
There's nothing you can compare to doing what you love (that's writing for me) and getting paid for it.
I applaud your efforts and I pray you achieve your target with the kids. I will copy from your playbook and see if I can do the same here in Nigeria. Peace.

Hi @warpedpoetic. Why not you start such bootcamps in your city? I'll be documenting the contents I teach over the next 11 days, and we will be making the resources available for you to download too. Stay tuned!
Day One's progress report here.
I can do that but not immediately. I will need to get approval from parents and schools for it to work. When I have been able to achieve that, I will let you know. Here, folks are a bit suspicious of strangers with strange offers. What I am thinking is, meet up with teachers who are patrons of literary clubs and engaging the students through that medium. What do you think?
That's a great idea! Leverage in their influence and connection to boost your profile.
I agree that trust needs time to build, but what you suggested will help speed up the process. A few suggestions I can think of that you can consider:
Good luck!
