Writing in the Community

WRIT 235A/235B

Writing in the Community offers you an exciting opportunity to develop specialized writing skills through experiential learning. You’ll work with a local non-profit organization on a writing project in public relations, advocacy, or literacy. You may be writing website content or promotional pitches for CFRC Radio, flyers for The Skeleton Press, or a retrospective/celebration document for Pathways to Education. In the classroom, you’ll learn the types of writing you’ll use in the community: how to write promotional materials (press releases, newsletters), advocacy documents (grant proposals, letters to officials), and informational material (profiles, brochures). You’ll also reflect on your placement experience through journal writing and collaborate with your peers as you work on your writing skills. Past students benefitted from transformative learning experiences as they wrote for their community!
