“Since march, we have redoubled our efforts to help people in our community connect and support one another through writing and sharing their stories. Our donors make these life-transforming experiences possible. Thank you for providing the support needed for pwn to offer powerful, meaningful, and authentic writing workshops, which are helping participants not only cope but also thrive during these challenging times. Scholarship seat program through our scholarship seat program, we've ensured that those who are financially affected by the pandemic can begin or continue taking classes. In 2020, we have provided 76 scholarship seats (28 youth/teen; 48 adult) for our studio classes, totaling more than 15,000-twice as many as last year. Expanded programs as we began quarantining, many groups we work with asked for more writing workshops, recognizing how reflective writing can offer moments of respite, calm, and connection. These include shore house (a clubhouse for adults living with mental illness), lunch breakfs womynfs worth mentoring progra and family based services association of new jersey. New programs we've also answered the call to offer new workshops to groups such as the second chance red bank cancer support group, the asbury book co-op, and the red bank public library. This fall, we launched a new spoken word project with students in the public speaking class at asbury park high school. We've invited three spoken word artists to help students write and revise pieces that they will perform. Teen programs hearing from our teens that they were feeling isolated and anxious, we increased our efforts to expand and strengthen our teen writing community, including launching a teen ambassador program so teens could give voice to their thoughts, feelings, and needs. Thanks to their feedback, we have rebranded our teen program to pwn teen, including an instagram redesign that provides writing-related resources. We have also been hosting virtual open mics on zoom. Teacher writing collaborative with all the recent challenges in education, we are committed more than ever to supporting teachers. We have developed a teacher writing collaborative (twc) with participants from nearly a dozen local high schools, including red bank regional, asbury park high school, and union high school. These teachers meet regularly to write together and exchange resources and strategies to implement in their classrooms, which directly benefit their students. Summer programs we adjusted our summer programs and continued to offer inspiring, creative workshops via virtual platforms. This year, we provided virtual camps twice weekly to students in both the red bank and asbury park branches of the boys & girls clubs of monmouth county.”
