“Take a chance, believe in yourself and have the courage to express your words here. You are safe here!”

—Outreach program participant

“I’ve experienced many gifts during YWW. The main one is being able to express my feelings, knowing that I will be listened to. Also a gift is being able to make friends and just have a time to let myself go and be able to talk/write with my heart. … I really have had an amazing time here in YWW.”

Your gift matters greatly to us. It will help to support our mission to nurture voice, build creative community, and promote writing as a transformative tool.

Your donations enable us to continue to offer high-quality programs both at our new space in downtown Bloomington at 318 S. Washington street and through outreach efforts with our community partners. Contributions bridge the gap between fees we receive and the full costs of running our programs.
