The Women’s Conversation Group, a large group class, meets every Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. It is a multi-leveled group. Instruction is provided by a qualified staff member. Some literacy-focused topics include: everyday conversation, health, technology, popular culture, the environment, social justice issues, cross- cultural exchange, and visual arts, and navigating local healthcare and school systems. Pre-registration is not required, but is restricted to women only, due to cultural reasons.
