Green
Windows
Writing Groups
Community Cultivating Creativity
To use the art of writing to offer disadvantaged, low-income, low-literacy, and at-risk youth growth, healing, empowerment, self-discovery, and community through creative writing workshops.
Green Windows workshops use the Amherst Writers and Artists (AWA) method and are run in partnership with community-based organizations and schools.
Green Windows also offers the general public the opportunity to join supportive writing groups and thereby support its youth workshops.
Green Windows' vision:
With the firm belief that art and creativity are vital to social justice, Green Windows would like to demonstrate, in partnership with youth development advocates and teachers, the vital role literary art can play in increasing literacy, bringing diverse people together, and giving a voice to the voiceless.
