Green Windows' mission: To
provide creative writing workshops offering growth, healing,
empowerment, self-discovery, and community to diverse writers,
prioritizing those needing the most support including low-literacy,
low-income, and at-risk youth and adults.
Green
Windows'
vision: With
the firm belief that art and creativity are vital to social justice,
Green Windows would like to partner with community organizations to
demonstrate the essential role literary art can play in increasing
literacy, bringing diverse people together, and giving a voice to the
voiceless.

We ran creative writing workshops throughout 2012 in West Oakland with residents of affordable housing apartments managed by the John Stewart Company. An collection of our writing, Neighborwords, can be bought at cost on Lulu.com. Check out the Writing and Testimonial/Photos pages for a glimpse of our work together the previous two summers.
The monthly workshops at Rock Paper Scissors are in their fifth year! The fourth Sunday of every month. The next one is at 7pm on May 26 2013. More info...
