July News

A Summer of Stories, Friendship, and Finding Voices

Over three inspiring weeks, Women Writing for (a) Change welcomed 40 young writers in grades 4–12 to our Summer Writing Camps. Together, they explored poetry, storytelling, and creative expression while discovering the power of their own voices.


Camp was about more than writing—it was a place where young people found friendship, built confidence, and discovered the joy of writing bravely, listening deeply, and celebrating one another's stories.

Thank you to our campers, families, facilitators, and supporters for making this summer one to remember. We look forward to welcoming the next generation of writers next year!

A Restorative Mini-Retreat for Listening Within

Friday, July 31 | 12:00-4:00pm



In partnership with Galia Collaborative, we invite you to step out of the noise and into something quieter, deeper, and often overlooked — your own body. Through guided breathwork, reflective writing, and shared space, we will gently explore what becomes available when we shift our attention inward.
