Dear Ms. Cross,
I am writing on behalf of Metro Denver Promotion of Letters (MDPL). We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to provide young writers in the Denver area with a supportive community and creative opportunities to express themselves through writing. We achieve this by offering free workshops, intensive & expeditionary camps, and the opportunity to publish student work.
This year we are excited to present a new opportunity for students. In addition to the free monthly creative writing workshops, we are opening the doors at Back Space, our workshop at 1 South Broadway, every Tuesday from 3:30-6:30 pm to students who could benefit from a little extra writing and reading support. This free after school tutoring is open to K-12 learners and begins on September 24.
Volunteer educators, parents, and academic mentors will be on site to work with students on essays and writing assignments, critical reading and thinking skills, or even creative writing projects. We envision the space to be lively and focused and eventually hope that peer tutoring will play a major role in the success of the program. Back Space is a safe, positive, and productive community environment. As always, students will receive extra academic guidance or just find a place to be imaginative and write among their peers. Snacks will also be provided.
If this sounds like a good fit for either a student of yours who is struggling or a student who just loves to write, please pass the attached information along to parents or post in your school. We’d love to help!
If you have any questions or want to learn more about MDPL, please be in touch. We delight in youth-focused collaborations.
All the best,
Nicole
