About WordPlay
WordPlay Cincy creates spaces for young people to fulfill their potential by discovering, honoring and sharing their voices. Our free programs for ages 5 - young adult blend the four elements of personal growth, community-building, creative expression and future orientation through project-based learning. All that we do is founded on our core beliefs that:
Creativity catalyzes learning
Our young people are a vast resource of strengths, and
Self-determination lies in being the authors of our own stories.
We infuse reading, writing and storytelling with the visual and performing arts, where children and teens uncover their unique personal narratives, activate their strengths, and determine how they want to contribute to a more just, inclusive and creatively connected community.
Mission:
WordPlay sparks storytelling through writing, performance, and visual arts in collaboration with Cincinnati’s young people by celebrating their strengths, cultivating belonging, and fueling social impact.
Vision:
A just world fueled by creative expression.
