Write Around Portland

Mission

Write Around Portland changes lives through the power of writing.

Bottom Line

People don't have enough outlets for relief from difficult emotions, memories, and trauma. Our program creates spaces that help people process and hear other people's stories. With us, writing becomes a path to expression, celebration, belonging, and healing.

“During a time of suffering, confusion, and heartbreak, writing was exactly what I needed to process what I was going through. I am so grateful to have participated in an experience that nourished me in a period of my life when I felt so lost.” - Willow
