In Our Words
Historically, an annual publication of student work, In Our Words, showcases the voices of our learners and volunteers.
Thank you to everyone who submitted works for the 2026 copy of In Our Words! Copies will be available at our November 7 Learner and Tutor Lunch. If you aren’t able to attend but still want a copy, please stop by our office during office hours (Wednesdays), or contact your Program Manager. The latest copy will be available on the website for download soon.
