Write the World helps students develop writing and reading skills, as well as communication tools essential for success in school, career, and life.

Strong writers become strong communicators, entrepreneurs, problem-solvers, and leaders in all types of industries.

Give young writers the resources, connections, and inspiration to make an impact.

Give underserved students from around the world the opportunity to join a writing camp this summer!

Every $199 raised will provide the service fees for one student to attend one virtual summer writing camp this summer. At Write the World Virtual Writing Camps, young writers (ages 13-19) will get inspired, express themselves, write in a variety of genres, boost their confidence, and work with notable professionals to create pieces they’re proud of from the comfort of their home.
