TLA Network Membership

The TLA Network is a gathering place, a healing ground, a place of greater vision and wider perspective that supports individuals and organizations in promoting all forms of the spoken, written and sung word as a tool for personal and community transformation.

The overall benefit of belonging to the TLA Network is the community you experience in being part of growing TLA and the power of words to transform, uplift, heal, and celebrate.

You also can more directly help us to develop TLA in the United States and around the world, networking opportunities, and ample writing and resources to help sustain TLA and amplify our reach while also contributing to your community. 

We also offer institutional memberships for your business or organization.

Why Become A Member?

I am a relative "newbie" to TLAN. My membership is not quite two years old.  Best present I ever gave to myself and found the organization one day, by chance.

The TLA Network exists to support and promote individuals and organizations that use the spoken, written, or sung word as a tool for personal and community transformation.

The Transformative Language Arts Network (TLAN) is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our offerings, organization, and aspirations. Words have the power to question, subvert, and transform limiting cultural narratives as well as reinforce entrenched stories and stereotypes. The TLA Network wants to make clear that we celebrate and uplift conversations across identity and difference, whether rooted in race, religion, social class, ethnicity, disability, health, gender, sexual orientation, age, military service, and other identities. In the past we have responded to a lack of diversity by actively recruiting underrepresented groups to: present and keynote at the Power of Words conference; serve on the TLAN board; teach classes; and contribute to our publications. We will continue to look at ways to incorporate greater access and representation in all of our projects, not just through the power of words but through the specifics of our practices.
