“Creative arts: Iowa City program unites community through creative writing”

Want to be a part of the IYW Project? You can help in two ways right now:

We have only two weeks to raise the much-needed funds for the “Was the Word: Poetry Pro-Am” event; even a dollar helps, and it’s incredibly easy to give through the Kickstarter campaign here:

“Was the Word: Poetry Pro-Am”

You could also spring clean and support the IYWP at the same time by bringing the “stuff” you no longer need or want to Stuff Etc‘s Iowa City and Coralville location, where the Iowa Youth Writing Project now has a charitable account. Bring in your stuff, say it’s for the Iowa Youth Writing Project account, and they’ll donate 50% of the final sale price to the IYWP!

Your support would mean so much to us!

If you’re one of the many people tired of credit card fees, please consider starting an account with Dwolla, a new payment option that avoids credit cards altogether. Check the process out with Dwolla’s short video here, then come on over to the IYWP’s Dwolla Hub to make a tax-deductible donation! You can even choose to direct deposit a little bit every month automatically. To name just a few programs that your donation would support RIGHT NOW, we’re running a great poetry workshop for 8 to 10 year olds at the Iowa City Public Library, a digital storytelling workshop for high school students at the Monsoon United Asian Women of Iowa offices in Des Moines, and an after-school creative writing program at Mark Twain Elementary School. There’s also an amazing youth spoken word performance in the works for Mission Creek Festival. Please help us make these sorts of creative opportunities available to all!

The bravery and creativity of these young writers (from Monsoon and Tate High School) wowed the crowd. Watch their performances here. Congratulations, writers!
