Each year, RCWP partners with local schools to offer a free after-school writing program for young writers. The 2024 program focused on changing perspectives utilizing photography and creative writing with students from Donley Elementary School. In 2025, the program centered on “Poetry for the Planet” with students from Bath Elementary School and Pattengill Biotechnical Magnet School. In 2026, the program ran in the Bath Elementary School STEM Lab and the Delta Center Library, built around the National Writing Project’s Write Out theme “Awaken the Senses,” with students exploring descriptive writing across a variety of genres.
In 2027, the program continues at two new sites, Beagle Middle School for 7th and 8th graders and Dimondale Elementary for 4th and 5th graders, around the NWP theme “Write Where We Stand.” Students will meet on Tuesdays right after school for six sessions in February and March, writing about the places they live, learn, and play through a place-based learning approach.
