Mission Blue Poem
By Zhona, age 10
Blue is the colour of gloom But it can also bloom Like lavenders and food like Blueberries and a perfect blue Mood. Blue can fly up high while The blue jays rise. Blue is like The waves of an ocean, like a Pretty blue potion
All of our programs take place on the traditional and stolen territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm, Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh and Səl̓ílwətaʔ Nations. We recognize that we all work within ongoing systems of oppression and colonization, and we commit to being a decolonial ally by building long-term relationships and by listening to, learning from, and amplifying the voices of our Indigenous friends.
The Writers’ Exchange is a community that supports under-resourced kids and youth to build their confidence and get excited about reading, writing and their own potential!
Values
All kids will grow up with the power to make their own choices, achieve anything and be happy.
“Writers’ Exchange feels better than anything, best place on Earth." —M, Grade 2 participant
