Pros&Conversation is WordPowered's annual fundraiser and celebration of transformative learning.

Join us on Thursday, May 7th, to celebrate the power of writing and the value of transformative learning. This year, we'll be celebrating at WGBH (One Guest Street, Boston, MA 02135) in Boston from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

Pros&Conversation is an evening of storytelling, impact, and community. Hear powerful stories from young writers, connect with educators and advocates, and support the next generation of storytellers.

Free parking is available at 15 Guest Street. WGBH is also accessible via the 86 and 66 buses and the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail Line.

What your gift supports

Your contribution to Pros&Conversation goes toward WordPowered's year-round programming. We work with students and educators to foster inclusive learning spaces that are rich in reading, writing, and discussion. To learn more about WordPowered's work last year, read our annual report.
