Inspiration Project

A collaborative effort between the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ and CP 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳, the Inspiration Project is a volunteer program that connects 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ students with consumers served by .

During the spring semester, students who show strength in writing meet once a week with a group of adults from CP 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳. Each student is paired with an adult from CP 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ and together, the pairs work to produce a complete, purposeful, polished work, in the form of a story, a short memoir, or a selection of poems. The result of this Inspirational work is an anthology, published in print and shared at a capstone reading event.
