| The VONA/VOICES Summer Workshop is co sponsored by the MFA in Writing Program and the English Department at the University of San Francisco |



| I feel like I have a community now because of this experience. I can see myself in the writing world/writing life, something I haven't really been able to see. I feel supported and part of a community. Participant, 2008 |
| Great 2008 Workshop! Stay tuned for our Tenth Year extravaganza! |











| I definitely feel that my experience reflected the VONA mission. I felt a sense of community there that I have never felt at any other class or workshop. There was an incredible atmosphere of warmth and friendliness at every step. |
