Mission
The Neighborhood
Writing Alliance (NWA) provokes dialogue
and promotes change by creating opportunities
for adults in Chicago to write, publish,
and perform works about their lives.
Values
The Neighborhood Writing Alliance believes:
The arts are integral to enriching the lives of individuals, strengthening communities, and improving society at large.
Its workshops, which are held in communities facing social and economic challenges, reflect the ethnic, racial, and economic make-up of the neighborhoods in which they meet.
In addition to encouraging artistic excellence, its workshops and publications encourage open discussion and create public forums for sharing ideas and opinions, with a belief that respect for self and others advances tolerance and understanding.
