Welcome to Write Around Portland.
Write Around Portland runs volunteer-facilitated writing workshops for people affected by HIV/AIDS, survivors of domestic violence, people in recovery from drug/alcohol addiction, people in prison, seniors in foster care, vetarans living with PTSD, people with physical or mental disabilities, teen parents, low income adults and people who might not have access to the power of writing and community because of income, isolation or other barriers.
We organize readings where participants share their writing with the greater community. We also publish anthologies of participants' writings.

| Carl Gerhardt and Jared Llund"It gives me a real appreciation of people and how different their voices are." |
"I have gained respect for other people like me who want to better their lives and who are using writing as a tool to move forward."
