Community Partnerships Grant
CAPA + KWH: A Writing Partnership is a year-long collaborative project to connect students from the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) with career- and college-oriented resources at University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and the Kelly Writers House (KWH). With the goal of developing opportunities for mentorship between Penn students and CAPA Creative Writing students, funding will support a variety of interactive activities (mentor meetings, workshops, and field trips to the Kelly Writers House/Penn.) The project will culminate in a presentation showcase of writing by CAPA students held at KWH, an event that will be recorded and shared as part of LIVE at the Kelly Writers House, a radio show in partnership with WXPN. The main goal of this project is to discover and develop pathways for ongoing connectivity between CAPA and KWH.
