Marjorie Book Continuing Education seeks volunteers to participate in and learn alongside adults and teens with disabilities. Volunteers can be paired with an individual with a disability to help facilitate their participation in the class.
This workshop is a follow up to our ongoing Creative Writing and Local Poets classes. We will spend about 2 hours developing your pieces of writing that you have already begun in class or at home. This is a great way to put pen to paper or finger to keyboard and revise and enhance a story that you have started previously in our workshops. After having finished memoir writing, we are slowly working on developing our second piece of writing, which is focused on worldbuiding. Anyone is welcome – just know that this is primarily a workshop to get writing time (and not a class on writing).
Volunteers will help provide accommodations (including scribing, spelling, following the steps of the writing process as instructed by the instructor, facilitating brainstorming of options, etc) to individuals with disabilities.
To help you, and our participants to get the most of the experience, volunteers are asked to read our volunteer handout prior to attending an event.
