Interested in enhancing your writing skills? Join us for creative writing workshops, and be driven by the passion and energy of the JCCSF community.
Get help from a volunteer facilitator to polish off your existing work or simply get some first words together. Apart from gaining skills, you’ll gain new friends as you work through the creative process together.
This group will be meeting online. Please reach out to Shiva Schulz at [email protected] to find out how.
