We are creating a Literacy Hub where youth and adults have access to creative writing classes, books, publishing workshops and opportunities, and a space to light up the open mic and join in on a drum circle with a djembe! We wish to expand our current programs to more youth specifically by building out this location in Detroit’s North End. The expanded space will allow us more room to work on our 50 Banner, 50 Barrels project giving us space to store materials, create and adorn rain barrels with poetry and art. We will also be able to house writers in residence and give our advanced literary program, broadcast journalism through Operation Rebel Community Radio, a home as well.

Funds will go to the build of the space, permits and literary art that will be created for the space. We appreciate your support!
