Missoula Writing Collaborative – ‘Poetry saves lives’

The Missoula Writing Collaborative http://www.missoulawritingcollaborative.org/ , created in 1994, has brought creative writing instruction to approximately 39,000 students in 28 schools in western Montana.

Our writers teach 2,000 students each year in settings ranging from a two-room school in Ovando to multi-classroom Missoula elementary, middle and high schools.

We teach writing in schools shadowed by the Mission Mountains on the Flathead Reservation of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Our 13 published, professional writers teach 12-week writing residencies and compile school anthologies featuring a poem from every student.
