Project Connect Readaround

Highlights Power of Outreach Programs

We held an amazing celebration readaround with Cincinnati Public Schools' high school writers from the Project Connect program. The May 10th event was covered by Local 12 WKRC. All participants received specially made charm bracelets and will get a copy of their beautiful words in a professionally published anthology, entitled "We Don't Stop."

We are honored to partner with Project Connect to hold writing circles for students experiencing homelessness in Cincinnati. The circles create a weekly in-school community where students' voices are heard. Congratulations to Destiny and the Project Connect seniors who are graduating this year. And thank you to the folks at Project Connect for the critical work you are doing to wrap these students in support and love.
