About the Program:
After-School Writing Lab is a place where students ages 7 and older grade can work with a trained tutor on homework, reading, and literacy skills, with a focus on creative writing.
After-School Writing Lab is a program focused on creative writing and homework help for students in elementary, middle, and high school. Students are not required to bring homework to the program, but homework tutoring is available to students who need it. In every session of After-School Writing Lab, students will work on reading and creative writing, with time for skill-building activities in literacy and math.
Two times a year, 826 MSP publishes our students’ poems, stories, and other writing in a chapbook. At our chapbook release parties, students can read their writing in front of an audience and take home a copy of their book for free. Students, parents, family, and friends are all invited!
