Second
STORY COLLECTIVE

A creative concept for co-living and community

Together with neighborhood and university partners, Writers Room created Second Story Collective, an intergenerational co-housing network of homeowners and student tenants engaged in storytelling and the shared creation of community.

Donations are important to helping Writers Room keep our programming and our home at Ross Commons free and open to all.
