Writing Through in the USA
The United States is a huge and diverse nation. For many, it is the fabled land of opportunity. But for some, those opportunities still feel out of reach. The country’s size and diversity often create an uneven access to education, economic advancement and societal success. Writing Through aims to increase the availability of opportunity wherever it is needed throughout the United States, helping its wide variety of citizens develop thinking skills and literacy, and to find their own voices through artistic expression.
