Donate a Journal

Stories can change the world…if you have the supplies to get started!

On the first day of writing group, all Write Around Portland participants receive a journal. It’s more than just a notebook – it’s their very own space to write, express their thoughts, and be vulnerable. Watching participants choose their journal is always a joyful start to our sessions!

Two Black teenaged girls sit on a leather sofa and hold up postcards and journals. They smile at the camera.

Your donated journal can become a vessel for storytelling, validation, and connection! Here is what makes a great journal:

  • Hard cover or soft cover
  • Lined, plain, or grid paper – doesn’t matter!
  • We can use a variety of sizes but nothing too small – at least 5” x 7” or larger
  • It is important the journal is unused, so make sure all the pages are blank!
  • Images and words are acceptable, however please keep in mind that we avoid journals with political or religious statements, or images that are graphic, suggestive, or feature drugs or alcohol so they can be used in any group or setting
