Community Collections
In this program, 826 New Orleans leads 45 minute to two-hour sessions with class-sized groups of students in schools and community spaces across the city, all centered on the same theme. Students’ pieces are then published in an anthology.
The Spooky Stories Anthology
Inspired by our storefront, youth create thrilling tales based upon eerie images in New Orleans.
The Good Troublemakers Project
A social justice project that champions change through writing.
The Pizza Poetry Project
A celebration of youth voice and National Poetry Month, poems by young writers are published on pizza boxes across the city.
The Pizza Poetry Project
Throughout February and March, poets go into classrooms across the city to guide students in writing poems in a host of styles. Then, in celebration of National Poetry Month in April, we partner with local pizzerias to distribute student poems on pizza boxes across the city. These poems are then collected and become an anthology released to the public.
