Details: Calling all creative writers experienced in working with youth!
We’re expanding our Writers in the School (WITS) program. We are excited to connect with local teaching artists interested in working with us as contracted writers in residence, or assembly presenters.
This structured but informal meeting will give us an initial chance to meet each other, and get questions asked and answered : ) without a heavy investment of time. We look forward to hosting you in our cozy studio space, and offering you hot tea, cocoa, and chocolate while we chat.
Cost: Free

ABOUT: The Writers in the Schools (WITS) program pairs working writers with classrooms to inspire students in creative writing. Collaborating with teachers, WITS writers develop engaging curricula aligned with learning objectives. In alignment with Wordcrafters’ mission, they emphasize the importance of reading and writing in daily life and empower students to express themselves creatively through writing. WITS writers share their expertise, insight, and enthusiasm for their craft, offering youth a unique creative writing arts experience during their regular school day.
OUR MISSION: We believe in the power of story. Stories tell us who we are, and who we can be. Wordcrafters empowers writers and readers by increasing access to community, craft, and inspiration. We provide a home for sharing knowledge and stories with each other and future generations to cultivate a more empathetic, creative, and courageous world.
