COLA-Literacy-02 - Community Literacy Center: Write Free
Course Description
Write with us on Thursdays! Spark your imagination with freewrites, learn writing techniques, and bring longer pieces to completion, all while connecting with a supportive group of other writers. Have a specific piece that you’re working on? CLC staff are happy to help you with projects of your choice. Come for as many or as few sessions as fit your schedule!
Want to see what you might do? Check out an Example Agenda!
Write Free is held at the Community Literacy Center, Murkland Hall Room G14, 15 Library Way, Durham, NH OR online via Zoom. Participants can join either in-person or online. Each week that a child is enrolled, the preferred email on the account will receive a confirmation email with information to either join via Zoom or attend in person.
Additional information including drop off and pick up locations are sent directly from program staff.
New as of Fall 2026:
- Participants purchase multi-session punch-cards. If the participant is regularly attending, punch-cards do not expire between semesters. If the participant is not regularly attending (i.e. missed 3 or more meetings in a row), the punch-card expires at the end of a semester. Please note that while the 6-session punch cards have letter indicators, you do not have to have purchased punch card "A" to purchase punch card "B" and so on. These letters are purely for clarity on our end.
- Participants will now complete registration questions in CampDoc (explained below).
