The Iowa Youth Writing Project is offering three different programs this Spring. Each one is completely free of charge! These program have each been designed for a specific age-range and are focused on encouraging and developing young creative minds. They are all taught by experienced and talented teachers who have a real passion for this type of education and outreach, but, most of all, the programs just look like a heck of a lot of fun. I would have killed for programs like this when I wasI was a kid. That's why I believe so heavily in pushing these programs and in the Iowa Youth Writing Project's core mission. I grew up as a poor kid, often living in rural areas where access to these types of programs was almost non-existent. If they did exist, they certainly weren't free. If you have kids, take advantage of what the Iowa Youth Writing Project is offerring. It really is too good to pass up!

This is the first thing I have seen on Facebook (which I peruse in a
read-only fashion) that actually bears a reposting.
