Mission Statement
Community-Word Project is a New York City based 501(c)(3) arts-in-education organization that inspires children in underserved communities to read, interpret and respond to their world and to become active citizens through collaborative arts residencies and teacher training programs.
Description
Community-Word Project establishes Collaborative Arts Residencies in New York City Title I schools, after-schools, and public libraries to bring professional writers and artists to underserved classrooms and provide kids with a unique and stimulating arts-integrated curriculum. Our Teaching Artists work alongside classroom teachers and after-school leaders to integrate creative and critical thinking skills through the arts.
CWP offers multi-disciplinary arts curriculum, often delivering the only educational exposure these children have to art, music, movement and creative writing. In accessing alternative learning channels, kids discover their personal passion, strengthen their voices, and engage in learning.
