Circle of Writers

Circle of Writers Circle of Writers teaches the art of writing, while expanding the whole person via one-on-one mentorship, courses and workshops.

Mission:
Circle of Writers teaches the art of writing, while expanding the whole person, in comfortable online, hybrid and classroom settings. We help both new and experienced writers discover and hone their unique writing voices learn to give and receive constructive feedback, and craft their life experiences into meaningful pieces of writing. By leading writers through sustained interaction with

others, we not only help them improve their craft but exercise their personal gifts of trust, patience, empathy, analysis, and tact. Vision:
Circle of Writers will connect people from across the world through experimental writing about the human experience. People of diverse backgrounds will be able to freely compose and share life anecdotes, and geographic and emotional barriers that can often hinder personal expression will lessen or cease to exist. The exchange of fresh ideas and stories will positively affect choices made by the participants beyond the choices they make on paper. Through interactions with people who are unlike themselves, writers will learn to appreciate and accept diverse lives and viewpoints.

After returning home from my Global Works trip, I had millions of thoughts and ideas jumbled in my head. Everyday of the trip was a life-changing experience It was overwhelming to sort through all of my thoughts. The Circle Of Writers course gave me direction, and helped me to learn even more from my trip. - Maggie Moran,

We were made and set here, the writer Annie Dillard once wrote, "to give voice to our astonishments.” We look forward to learning about the astonishments of our travel writers as we enter our 7th year of partnership with Global Works - International Community Service!

Global Works creates impactful change through authentic summer teen travel, community service programs, language learning, and adventure.
