Creative Resources for Writers and Readers
Being part of a larger writing community helps us advance our own mission while supporting like-minded organizations. In the past month, this community has collectively come together in unique and unprecedented ways to help all of us stay connected, creative and sane. We wanted to highlight a couple projects that are accessible and youth-friendly for all the creatives stuck at home! As always, these links will be up in our collection of resources for students and teachers in addition to the larger collection of links we have available.
