Without WITS…

Our young community members will lose their connection to their local literary programs.

The California Alliance for Arts Education revealed that only 11% of California schools fulfill the state requirement for providing arts classes to their students.

Through Writing in the Schools (WITS), Red Hen Press is working to bridge the gap.

Our WITS program has brought creative writing workshops to over 5,000 children at underserved schools.

All students involved in WITS are awarded publication in a professionally-bound anthology by Red Hen Press.

Students who are involved in a WITS program are:
🟠 5x less likely to drop out of school
🔵 4x more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
🟢 4x more likely to receive a bachelor’s degree

We need your support to keep this essential programming alive, and help us empower the next generation and foster youth literacy for decades to come.
