    Writers in the Schools (WITS) engages children in the pleasure and power of reading and writing. WITS writers work in year-long programs in over 350 classrooms in order to help students develop their creative and analytical thinking skills. Although our focus is on at-risk public school students, we also offer workshops in art museums, hospitals, community centers, private schools, and homeless shelters.

    We are involved in national initiatives, such as mentoring similar writers-in-schools programs, serving as a model for multidisciplinary arts educators, and designing curricula for use in schools. Our writers also lead in-services and writing workshops for teachers.
