Poems hide in pencils
ready to burst.
 
Poems hide in the leaky corners
of your life
frightening the dark.

Missoula Writing Collaborative

The Missoula Writing Collaborative teaches literary competence, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and artistic joy through creative writing.

We place writers in school classrooms, after-school programs, youth homes and other venues to show young people the power of words and help them find their voices as writers. We are a nonprofit 501 ( c) (3) organization committed to reaching the underserved members of our society.

 

We teach kids
to love to write.
