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.
Each year we teach over 1500 kids to love to write.

community identity, and help revitalize local economies, transforming communities into lively, beautiful, and sustainable places with the arts at their core.
