ABOUT US

Write to Right™ is a nonprofit organization focused on the power of creative writing to effect social change. The organization began after holding workshops to teach creative writing to elementary school students in a local D.C. public school. When seeing how much the students loved it, we realized we needed to provide these workshops on a regular basis, and Write to Right was born. While creative writing boosts communication, the ability to self-express, and creative and critical thinking skills, many schools don't give their students exposure to creative writing. Write to Right aims to address and fill that gap through its own curriculum. Through fun and engaging hands-on activities and exercises in our copyrighted curriculum, Write to Right cultivates a love of language in all students. Write to Right is hoping to work with schools in the local D.C. area and soon expand to work with schools across the country and the world. We focus on teaching both elementary aged students and middle schoolers. We call ourselves Write to Right because our organization is eager to teach others to use writing to "right", or correct, the injustices around us.

​

Write to Right empowers students to forge a positive relationship with creative writing, which allows them to realize their full potential and become change makers in their communities. We aspire for our students to find joy in the creative process, to imagine the change they seek in the world, and then to become advocates and bring that change into being. We build strong communicators, and communication is critical, especially in such polarized times. Our work feels especially urgent now.
