Do you know about WritersCorps?

Since 1994, their professional Teaching Artists have worked with over 15,000 young people to develop their writing and communication skills. They focus on youth who have historically been underrepresented or ignored and they help them find their voices.

This really important work is, from what I can gather, a project of the San Francisco Arts Commission, which sounds to me like an underfunded city agency.

I think if the politicians won't allocate enough to fund our work, we'll just have to find other ways to stay afloat.

We could start by circulating our money within the community. For instance, you might decide to support WritersCorps by visiting their online store and purchasing Tell the World an anthology of work written by young people who have participated in their programs.

You could call it a mini-stimulus package.
