OUR MISSION
To support lifelong literacy and cultural diversity through the writing, reading, performing, and teaching of poetry in Northwest schools and communities.Ellen Bass
"Our Poets at Work"
Since 1998, we have put poets in 3,000 classrooms,
for 1,000 days, inspiring more than 400,000 students
in the appreciation and creation of poetry.
“These master poets change students’ lives when they enter our area classrooms. They help students see inside themselves,
help them find wonder in the world around them, lead them in the joy of discovering all that poetry makes possible.”
Molly McNulty, Director
We Need Your Help
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our project. Without the hours of work our volunteers give, the Skagit River Poetry Project and Festival would not be possible. Click on the green volunteer icon below to see the volunteer calendar. We will begin our volunteer recruitment in mid-February 2014, so save the date.
If you have questions, please email to linda.talman@gmail.com.
