Support Poetry for Students
Fund Chicago’s Future
The Chicago Poetry Center supports 1500 students annually with weekly poetry residency programming in classrooms across Chicago. CPC was among the first partners to pivot with CPS and provide meaningful remote content, designed to stretch across the digital divide in the early months of the Covid-19 Pandemic. In School Year 2020-21, CPC brought high quality programming to virtual classrooms and homes across Chicago, providing students with literary and social emotional skill building and a space for their creativity to thrive. This year, we’re back in the classroom with our students, masked up and ready to write in-person!
Now, you can support the poetry center by bidding on the amazing packages available in our live auction, too! We’ve got an author-signed 1st Edition of The 1619 Project, a Haymarket Poetry Collection & POETRY Magazine Subscription, Coaching Sessions with Marty McConnell, Logan Theater tickets, and much more! Check out the packages and support CPC here.
