Mosaic Creative Writing Program
Mosaic is an annual language arts program for middle school students to showcase their creative talents and express their cultural identities. The program is held in partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) and Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL). Entries are in the category of essay, short story, or poem (including a spoken word or written version of a rap) and allow students to creatively express their personal reflections on diversity and culture.
There are writing workshops where registrants will receive hands-on instruction on the writing process, strategy for adding focus to your writing, engage in writing prompts, read like a writer, and more!
Students should encourage their English teachers to register for the Mosaic Program at: https://www.folmc.org/events-calendar/mosaic/teachers/.
Please Note: This project is not for individual student volunteers but rather for student classes that have a school staff member as a sponsor to supervise and monitor the student service.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
