IRS990/Desc0WRITING WORKSHOPS: In 2019, Write Around Portland celebrated its 20th anniversary. We held 48 writing workshops for adults and youth in hospitals, schools, prisons, homeless youth shelters, treatment centers, low income housing buildings, senior centers and other health care and social service settings. Workshops met for up to 10 weeks, and we offered these generative writing workshops free of charge to more than 679 adults and young people experiencing financial insecurity or isolation. We held workshops in partnership with 44 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. More than 95% of participants reported improvements in writing and listening skills as well as a decrease in isolation. We also held 24 sliding scale and market rate workshops open to the general public and two writing workshops in various workplaces. Workshop participant Lily told us: Im glad Write Around Portland is around[The workshop was] definitely a really amazing outlet to get a lot of emotions and feelings out.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0PUBLICATIONS: We published two professionally-designed books of participants' unique and powerful writing. We printed and distributed 785 copies: "Still Light" (spring) and Close-up Mirrors (fall). These publications were truly community endeavors, with more than 50 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, public libraries, correctional facilities and at schools. We featured writers and their work on our website and through social media, and we also created community broadsides of writing by participants in our Prompt workshops. In their introduction to our spring 2019 anthology Still Light, Write Around Portland founders Liza Halley and Ben Moorad shared: From the start, we put respect at the center of Write Around PortlandWe didnt see respect as a benign thing, like tolerance or acceptance. Respect is more radical than that. Its an existential stance of empathetic imagination. Its you doing everything you can to see fully the person before you, so that you see how they are as alive and complicated as you are.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0COMMUNITY READINGS: We held 3 large and 10 smaller readings with more than 670 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. A 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. Workshop participant, Mary, shared with us: It makes me feel more alive. I am more open, instead of being in my room in my wheelchair. I look forward to this workshop experienceIt frees me from my wheelchair and the boredom of being in a care facility.
