Project W.R.I.T.E.

 

Project W.R.I.T.E., now in its ninth year, is an outreach program to help high school students get excited about writing.  The program was created by two Stanford undergraduates in 2002 and continues to be planned and led by Stanford students. A team of three Student Directors brings students from East Palo Alto high schools to campus for Saturday morning writing workshops held during in Winter term. 

Each weekly workshop features a guest speaker, often a Stanford professor, who addresses a particular theme rooted in his or her area of expertise. These interactive workshops give high school students an opportunity to practice writing in different genres--such as poetry, fiction, oral storytelling, or screen-writing--and about different themes and issues.

If you are interested in getting involved, or if you have questions, contact the Faculty Director for 2011-2012, Julia Bleakney.

Project WRITE Student Leaders for 2011-2012: Kendall Early, Bridget Whearty, Ketaki Shriram, and Alyssa Thomas.
