Bring a book club
to the women you serve.
We partner with organizations already serving women by providing complete Book Club Boxes with individual kits at no cost, including a thoughtfully selected book and curated materials designed to encourage reflection and meaningful conversation. You bring together the women; we provide the experience.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for organizations already bringing women together—and for the trusted leaders within them who can turn a ready-to-use book club program into a meaningful shared experience.
| Organization | How we can partner |
|---|---|
| Shelters | Domestic violence and women’s shelters can offer Gathered Pages as a supportive experience for residents seeking connection, reflection, and a sense of community. Program directors, advocates, and case managers can help bring the circle together. |
| Recovery | Recovery and mental health organizations can incorporate a shared reading experience into existing groups and programs. Books can open new ways to explore identity, resilience, hope, and personal growth. |
| Senior living | Senior centers and assisted-living communities can use Gathered Pages to encourage conversation, build friendships, and create meaningful opportunities for residents to share their experiences and perspectives. |
| Schools | Schools can offer Gathered Pages to educators, staff members, parents, or other groups of women within the school community. A shared book creates space for connection beyond everyday roles and responsibilities. |
| Hospitals | Hospitals and healthcare organizations can create restorative spaces for nurses, caregivers, patients, or other women within their communities to pause, reflect, and connect through a shared story. |
| Reentry programs | Reentry organizations can offer women a welcoming space to explore new perspectives, strengthen their voices, and build supportive relationships as they move forward. |
| Libraries | Libraries are natural gathering places with deep knowledge of their communities. Outreach and adult-services teams can help extend the Gathered Pages experience to women who may not otherwise have access to a book club. |
| Community groups | Community centers, faith communities, military family programs, and organizations serving refugee and immigrant women can use Gathered Pages to bring women together across experiences and foster belonging through shared stories. |
Don’t see your organization listed? If you bring women together and believe a shared reading experience could serve your community, we encourage you to apply.
What we ask of you
We ask our partner organizations to identify a trusted facilitator, bring together a group of women, and create a welcoming space for them to read, reflect, and connect. Facilitators guide the conversation using the materials we provide and share feedback to help us understand the experience and strengthen future programs.
Apply to host a club
Six fields. We read every one of these ourselves.
Not the right fit, but you know someone?
The single most useful thing anyone does for us is an introduction. If you know a shelter, a recovery program, a senior center or a staff room that would want this, tell us about them and we will make the approach.
Every box begins a conversation. Help us send the next one.
