Interested in holding a Write Around Portland workshop at your agency or organization? Call Sarah at 503.796.9224.

Write Around Portland has provided writing workshops in collaboration with more than 200 social service agencies, community organizations, the state, county and public schools. Our Agency Partners--listed below--provide workshop space and recruit participants.

We also hold "open" workshops for adults living on a very low income, receiving social services and/or with a disability and a special workshop called Write On: Returning Writers for adults who have participated in 2-3 previous workshops. After completing Write On, participants are invited to write together in Seasoned Writers, a participant-facilitated group.
