Work makes a difference in all of our lives. It provides independence, dignity, income, a sense of self-worth and accomplishment, a purpose. And it should never be taken for granted.
Words about Work!® is an annual poetry competition for Fedcap participants, employees, and their children that offers inspiring thoughts on the question: “What does work mean to you and your family?”
Now in its ninth year, Words about Work!® is an inspiring vehicle for the public to learn about Fedcap. Our mission – to be a premier organization that empowers people with barriers to employment to move towards economic independence as valued members of the workforce – comes alive through the voices of people who are employed by and receive services from us.
Words about Work!® is also a fundraiser for Fedcap and makes possible some of the essential support programs that many of our participants depend upon to succeed in the workplace.
Fedcap is pleased to announce that Poet Bob Holman, founder of the Bowery Poetry Club, will judge this year's entries. WCBS-TV Consumer Reporter Kirstin Cole will act as Master of Ceremonies at the Words about Work! event.
