I have been volunteering with Desert Island Supply Co. since the organization was founded in August 2009. Inspired by programs such as 826 Valencia and the Austin Bat Cave, the Desert Island Supply Co. is run by passionate volunteers who believe in the power of storytelling and are dedicated to providing Birmingham students with more opportunities to write. I help spread the word about DISCO’s work and reach out to people who might want to partner with the organization, volunteer at writing booths, donate money or enroll their children in DISCO workshops. If you live in Birmingham and would like to join in the fun, let me know. And feel free to share information about DISCO with others who might be interested in participating in our workshops and projects.
