Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
We partner with schools and communities to teach the imaginative power of language. We embrace creativity, empowerment, inclusion, and excellence. We build communities of hope and compassion through writing.
-
MWC writers offered inspiration and poetry to more than 2,200 students in 34 schools in seven counties across western Montana. Over the course of 12 weeks, they taught students to write clearly, descriptively, and enthusiastically, and to learn how language is a powerful tool. In July of 2023, more than 65 young people gathered for two weeks of summer camp. Campers worked on writing prompts in workshops each morning, then participated in a variety of activities in the afternoon.MWC also offered two series of classes for adults titled Writers Room. These consisted of one multi-week session with four different class options and a one-day workshop with four different options. All of these programs support our mission to build communities of hope and compassion through writing.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
