Write to Right®

We need writing now more than ever. 

Write to Right® teaches under-resourced communities creative writing as a tool towards self-transformation and social change. We focus on using creative writing as a means for social justice to empower others to make change in their communities. Using Write to Right's® own curriculum, our free of charge, in-person workshops provide people with the tools they need to advocate for and communicate about the causes and issues they believe in. Students leave the workshops with a culminating anthology of their favorite pieces written during the workshop. 

The Story Behind Write to Right: In May of 2022, for Tara's Eagle Project in Scouts, she created a curriculum and taught in-person creative writing workshops to students at an under-resourced elementary school in DC. Watching their growth over the course of the workshops was incredible, and she could see their writing and their passion for language develop. While they had first been so reluctant to write, by the end of the workshops, the students were eagerly writing down and bringing to life memories, experiences, plays, poems, and stories. The experience opened Tara's eyes to the power of writing in honing self-expression, developing purposeful communication, and envisioning and actualizing community change. Tara also had the opportunity to work with Free Minds in February of 2022, a nonprofit that helps incarcerated persons interact with poetry. This work gave Tara deeper insight into how transformative the artistic and creative process can be, inspiring her to expand Write to Right's curriculum and launch workshops and programming all over the world. Write to Right was born.
