Annual Report Yogurt
By Jaden, age 10
Kid 1: Why is it called The Writers’ Exchange? Kid 2: I know! Because you write here. And you can exchange books! Kid 3: And everyone here is a writer!
There was a yogurt who walked into a shop and got put on display. A girl named Emily bought the yogurt and took it home. The yogurt was scared and confused. Emily grabbed a spoon and the yogurt said, “No, no, no! Please don’t eat me!” “You talk?” said Emily. “Yes! Please don’t eat me!” said the yogurt. “Well, too bad. I’m hungry,” said Emily, and ate the yogurt anyway. “Ooh, that’s delicious,” she said.
Mission
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!
Vision
All kids will grow up with the power to make their own choices, achieve anything and be happy.
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.
