Help Get Our Students On The “Write” Bus

“Performing at Howard in front of my "Tour Family" others and the staff at Howard was such a great feeling. It made me weak and kind of woozy but at the same I was so excited. Performing is something I've grown to love ever since I became apart of The Let’s Write Out Loud program and it is something I will continue to do.” - Arnetta Brown

This year, Homestreet Publishing is taking on the task of exposing our youth to the opportunities for education at the HBCU. We have partnered with HBCU Campus Tours in an effort to award our top poetic scholars with the opportunity to visit black historical campuses. All of our students are excited about this opportunity but we need your help!

 

We need organizations and individuals to sponsor $1700.00, in whole or in part, so our writing students can experience the richness we know the HBCU education has to offer.
