This year for our MLK Day of Service event, we will be hosting a Write Night with Free Minds Book Club. "Free Minds uses books, creative writing, and peer support to awaken DC youth incarcerated as adults to their own potential. Through creative expression, job readiness training, and violence prevention outreach, these young poets achieve their education and career goals, and become powerful voices for change in the community."
Please join us Monday, January 16th from 12-3pm as we empower young inmates to write new chapters in their lives by providing feedback on their written works!
We are also collecting new and gently used books (appropriate for 14-18yrs old) for our book drive to support a local high school library! Please bring at least one book on January 16th.
