City Stories Party

Please support Second Story

Happy Holidays!
Second Story has enjoyed a great 2009. We appreciate your support in helping us continue to succeed. This year, with many excellent volunteers joining our team, we’ve helped lots of kids in Indianapolis find joy in writing and improve their literacy skills.

Here’s how:

- with summer programs on East 10th Street (in partnership with Y-Press) on the Near Eastside and in Garfield Park (in partnership with Indy Parks);

- with in-school programs at IPS School 15 (4th graders) and IPS School 2 (7th graders in partnership with Butler University and Central Library);

- with after-school programs at the Wheeler Arts Community in Fountain Square, Kaleidoscope Youth Center and MLK Center.

Now, we’re looking forward to 2010 with plans to continue our after-school and in-school efforts while also working with high school kids for the first time as we team up with University of Indianapolis to help students at Manual High School bring back their yearbook and newspaper publications.

In late 2008 and in 2009, we received some great support from the Indianapolis Foundation, State Farm and from individuals like you. But times are tight and foundation and corporate support has been very slim - especially for a newer organization like ours.

So we need your help. The more we are able to raise, the more we can expand our programs to reach more children in 2010. It’s easy to donate through our Donate/PayPal button above or by sending us a check to 1014 Prospect St. Indianapolis, IN 46203.

Thanks for your help!
