Write For A Change

I am here for Networking

About Me

Write For A Change is a volunteer organization out of Chicago, Illinois. It intends to create a community of learners and teachers willing to assist in the growth of their communities. Using the tools that literacy offers us, Write For A Change works to affect positive growth in the city's neighborhoods. This involves, but is not limited to, the teaching of free writing and composition classes, prose and poetry contests, and charity work within the arts community.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

College students, especially studying in the fields of education and English. Teachers interested in progress outside the classroom. Anyone interested in improving their writing skills or enriching their experience with words. Writers of all shapes and sizes. People from diverse backgrounds. People who don't know the meaning of the word hopeless. People with a real desire to affect change in their lives and in their neighborhoods. Volunteers of all sorts.
