For more than 30 years, A Window Between Worlds (AWBW) has been serving as a leadership incubator for community-based activists & artists, fostering innovations on how art can heal & transform intersectional trauma, create new pathways for individual change, and serve as a catalyst for change on the cellular and systemic levels.
As we rise to meet the challenges of unprecedented demand and program growth while continuing to hold that circle of co-creation, we invite you to join us as we develop strategic investments in the staffing infrastructure, connective technology, and community-based leadership necessary to sustain the next chapter of AWBW’s growth.
GET INVOLVED
THE NEED
As we reflect on our incredible 95% growth the past 3 years in response to unprecedented need across multiple sectors, we find ourselves at a critical moment, needing additional resources to build out staffing & technology infrastructure to continue to meet this growing need and expand our program to maintain & deepen connections with our trained Facilitators and the survivors they serve.
DIVERSITY OF SECTORS SERVED
We’ve experienced 92% growth since 2020 across existing and new trauma sectors. Our Windows Facilitators work within a variety of communities and address multiple life experiences. Circles proportionate to percentage of reported areas of services.

It’s really that simple, TOT members simply spread the word about our training which helps our community of art Facilitators to grow and thrive!
