What will YOU write with us?
We offer week-long summer camps for young people in 4th-12th grades and a 4-day summer session for young adults 18-22. Our camps are open to young women, girls, and trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth.
Two powerful evenings of strength, truth-telling, courage, and hope marked the eighth annual V-Day event at Women Writing for (a) Change. On February 21 and 22, local writers shared essays, poems, stories and song in conjunction with the V-Day/One Billion Rising* movement, which strives to bring awareness, energy and financial support to the fight against gender-based violence.
Much gratitude to WWf(a)C facilitator and poet Laurie Lambert who has organized and directed these programs each year. A huge thanks to each of the 45 writers and readers of all genders who bravely shared their words in these diverse and transformative evenings. The event proceeds of $3,160 will support programs, including writing circles, for those who have experienced domestic abuse.
