For more than 30 years, Just Buffalo Literary Center has sent poets, writers, and performers into the schools to excite students and teachers in the practice and exploration of writing. Each writing program is custom-designed in collaboration with classroom teachers and administrators to focus on student needs. We create the space and flexibility so students can develop their creative and critical abilities with language—to explore their own creativity and become more insightful thinkers.
