Writers in the Community
Writers in the Community, which the QWF runs in collaboration with the Centre for Literacy of Quebec, brings the literary arts to young people who are left out of the artistic mainstream. Partners have included Jeunesse 2000, Head & Hands, Mountainview School, Batshaw Youth and Family Services, Leave Out ViolencE, Tyndale St-Georges Community Centre, the Jewish General Hospital, VOYCE (Voices Of Youth in Care).
These poems were written by young writers participating in the Writers in the Community Program under the guidance of Larissa Andrusyshyn. At the request of the organization with which we collaborated, we are not printing the poets’ names.
