Investigating Where We Live

Investigating Where We Live (IWWL) is a summer outreach program at the National Building Museum, designed for students aged 12-16 from the D.C. metropolitan area. Participants learn to use creative writing and photography as a means of understanding and describing D.C. neighborhoods. At the end of the program, participants will share what they have learned by creating a public exhibition. In 2010, students will focus on the neighborhoods of Petworth, Southwest Waterfront, and Trinidad.

Josh: Reflections on IWWL From A Volunteer

Working with the IWWL this summer has been a very rewarding experience. I have enjoyed making new friends and working as a team with the other leaders and students. I was very unsure what to except as a volunteer, but my experience has far exceeded anything I could have expected. IWWL is an amazing program, unlike anything I have expected. I am sad that our time together is almost over, but I am so anxious to see the fruit of all the students hard work! I can't wait for the IWWL exhibit opening on Friday July 30th, at 6:00!
