redbud community classes
In addition to our scholarship program, Redbud also regularly offers tuition-free classes to particular marginalized or under-represented groups or on particular topics that we believe should be explored and elevated in the literary community. These classes are funded by grants and donations from our generous community.

“Taking this memoir class for the past few months has been awesome. It has not only given me a set time to write and reflect but it focuses on the importance of understanding who I have been over my lifetime. The experience was awesome and one that I would suggest for everyone to be a part of if they can.”
