In our introductory conversations with Liz Eslinger, the CEO of Write Around Portland (WAP), we learned how the organization fulfills its mission of “changing lives through the power of writing.” We—co-liaisons for this nonprofit—decided the best way to learn more about WAP was to participate in writing workshops ourselves. WAP sponsors a variety of participant-centered writing workshops, including bi-weekly 1½ hour workshops open to anyone in the community. These workshops (currently offered via Zoom, on a sliding scale, $5 to $30 each) provide funding for BIPOC, disenfranchised and incarcerated people with opportunities to express their voices through writing.
