IRS990/Desc0WRITING WORKSHOPS: We held 48 writing workshops in hospitals, schools, prisons, homeless youth shelters, treatment centers, low income housing buildings, senior centers and other health care and social service settings. We offered these 8-10 week generative writing workshops free of charge to more than 500 adults and young people experiencing financial insecurity or isolation. We held workshops in partnership with 45 different agencies to bring writing to places where people live, study and receive services. We provided journals, pens, snacks, bus tickets and accommodations to remove obstacles to participation. 96% of participants reported improvements in writing and listening skills as well as a decrease in isolation. We also held 26 sliding scale and market rate workshops open to the general public and 7 one-time workshops tailored to specific groups. Workshop participant Richard told us: This [Write Around Portland] workshop has strengthened my courage and my confidence level to engage in other community-based activities.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0PUBLICATIONS: We published four professionally-designed books participants' unique and powerful writing. We printed and distributed more than 1,100 books: "Toward the Sound" (spring); "Paper in My Shoes" (summer); "Headed Home" (fall); and "Intersecting Lines, featuring writing from participants in workshops in Washington County. These publications were truly community endeavors, with more than 70 volunteers helping to produce each book. Workshop participants each received a free copy of the book in which their writing was published. Books were also made available at local bookstores alongside literary journals and at public libraries, the county jail, a state prison and at schools. We also featured writers and their work on our website and through social media. We also created community broadsides of writing by participants in our Prompt workshops. In her introduction to our spring 2015 anthology, Naomi Ulsted, Center Director of Springdale Job Corps, told us: Sharing those stories with others lets the words loose into the world. Sometimes those words paint a scene with a gentle brush of hope. Sometimes they strike hard, leaving a raw wound like only real honesty can. The world needs to hear the stories in this book because every story strengthens our community.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0COMMUNITY READINGS: In 2015, we held 4 large and 11 smaller readings with a combined total of more than 1,000 audience members. Our large community readings were open to the public and were free of charge. These readings brought participants from all of our workshops together and with the general public to share their work. These events promoted respect for diverse voices and provided the opportunity to share the stories of individuals experiencing isolation because of economic, cultural, physical, social or other barriers. The range of stories at each reading was vast. An unmistakable spirit of support, compassion, respect and enthusiasm for the writers and the written word permeated each reading. Our writers and audiences are among the most diverse in Portland. A participant in our workshop at Park Tower told us: My life has improved because I feel less lonely, less depressed, more connected in the world and I feel more worthwhile. Write Around Portland helps me feel connected to the world and to feel like my life matters.
