Write-to-Recognition
Write-to-Recognition provides over 80 lower, middle, and high school writers from low-income families with free creative workshops throughout the school year. Thirty of those writers attend workshops weekly and receive 30 hours of free private sessions at our lab on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Another 30 middle school writers take weekly Writopia workshops at Goddard Riverside sites, and another 20 take weekly workshops at a Homes for the Homeless family shelter. Many W2R writers each year also attend our two-week sleepaway camp, our summer programs, are selected for productions as part of our off-Broadway annual plays festival, win Scholastic Writing Awards, and receive prestigious scholarships from top choice universities. Write to Recognition has been generously funded by the Pinkerton Foundation since 2016.
