We invite WE LEARN members -- learners, educators, and all advocates for women -- to become involved in the work of WE LEARN. We look forward to your participation.
Work Groups
WE LEARN work groups are open to all members who would like to join in the fun and affect the work of WE LEARN. You may live anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. We try to meet face-to-face whenever possible, especially for people located in close regional areas. However, much of our work is accomplished through email and telephone conferencing.
To get involved, contact Mev Miller / 401-383-4374 / welearn@litwomen.org

Fundraising, grantwriting and other creative solutions needed. | Would you like to take on a stronger leadership role in WE LEARN?

Women Leading Through Reading (WLTR) Discussion Circles are student-centered and woman supportive. Based on the experiences of "book clubs," women learners connect their reading and discussion to issues and concerns important for their lives as women. The WLTR Circles assist each student to develop her confidence, leadership, and critical thinking skills. The Circles are co-facilitated by women volunteers from the local community.

Some of this work includes: writing articles, doing interviews, reviewing resource materials, highlighting current policy or research of importance to our members, editing or proofreading, seeking artwork, helping with layout and design…and more… |
In addition to creating content & design for the website, this committee will explore ways to broaden our communications through blogs, internet surveys, wiki, and other forms of communication technology. We are seeking volunteers with website design skills, BUT you do not need to have website design skills to participate on this committee. |
This work group will explore gender-based differences in learning and make recommendations about resources on policy, legislation, & research links to add to our website. |
