Have a knack for making your word count? Come write letters to Free Minds members about reading and self-expression! Because DC has no federal prison, most of our members serve the majority of their sentences in federal prisons far from home. Through letter writing, you help us foster a sense of family and community for all our members—and you help provide our members with the tools and encouragement to be productive lifelong learners and effective storytellers of their own lived experiences. The letter writing circle takes place every Monday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, at the Free Minds office (COVID-19 Update: Letter Writing Circle conducted over Zoom). If you are interested, schedule an orientation. Your every word makes a difference. (Minimum 10-hour commitment requested; must be at least 18 years old) Link to sign-up for orientation: https://calendly.com/freeminds/free-minds-letter-writing-session-newbies?month=2021-10 If we have lots of sign-ups we can all meet and do the orientation together! This is such a worthy cause and once you do the orientation you will be able to return every Monday and respond to a specific letter for a great community! This is seperate from the Free Minds Write Night which is editing poetry, whereas this is writing personalized letters!
