PROGRAMS

Art and culture are front and center at OCCA's special events.

Voces Chapbook & Writer's Workshops: participate in author led writer's workshops; develop skills, receive feedback from fellow writers, and publish your works in a chapbook and anthology chapbook.

Ask about the writer's professional development opportunities.

Vocecitas/Little Voices is a lit program for youth. Sign them up to write stories and make a Zine/Chapito (little chapbook).

Everyone and every community has stories that have been forgotten or lost.

But sometimes they are right in front of us.

They are stories told by our elders. They're old relics left behind. OCCA workshops are designed to help you write your stories.

 Register for the Dia de los Muertos writer's workshops and ofrenda workshops. Learn about the symbolic elementsof this annual custom of remembering and celebrating life.

We need volunteers to help us run our programs effectively. Whether it's event planning or administrative tasks, your support can help us achieve our goals.
