As a facilitator of the AWA way I feel such a joy from choosing and offering prompts, then, riding the wave of responses. This training establishes the tools and confidence to begin and succeed. We provide guidance for starting a business for general groups or working with specific populations, such as those in prison, low-income youth, the chronically ill, or seniors.

The five full days of material include instruction in leadership skills, experiential learning, ways to develop craft, and practical information on how to form successful groups for writers at all levels and from diverse backgrounds. Our initial training is a comprehensive, synchronous online writing workshop leadership training. I am grateful to AWA for the support I receive! I’ve met so many other facilitators through and from them I learn new best practices while developing new professional and personal relationships. As a facilitator (trained in 2013), AWA has helped me effectively and creatively deal with the isolation caused by global pandemic. We also provide continuing eduction for trained leaders in the form of our online post-certificate training modules. AWA offers several five-day training sessions per year, limited to 12 trainees, that will teach you how to lead writing workshops in the AWA method and enable you to join our community of certified workshop leaders.
