Women Writing for a Change (WWfaC) provides safe spaces for writers to find their bravest voice no matter the form. There are core classes to find your voice, craft classes to grow in your form, and specialty classes for the intersection of writing with other arts and disciplines. At WWfaC, the how is what matters. Every class is done in a circle to create a level playing field, which has historically served women, and is now available for all genders. WWfaC illuminates inclusivity, empowerment, and growth in every program. We hold classes for different groups so that people can choose where the best fit for them such as: Women (you define your gender), Youth, Affinity groups (currently LGBTQIA+ and Black & Brown Women) and All Gender. WWfaC has dedicated DEI programs to ensure that our programs are inclusive, equitable, and accessible to all. For income inequality we have scholarships available for every class. WWfaC also goes into spaces to hold writing circles in partnership with organization such as: * Project Connect for students at risk of being unhoused * Incarcerated Women * Jewish Community Center: Interfaith Programs * Developmental Disabilities: Starfire * V-Day for Survivors of Sexual and Domestic Violence, Women Helping Women, Women’s Way * Arts and Culture: Taft Museum, Cincinnati Art Museum
