The Charities
Writopia Lab
Writopia Lab is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in New York City in April of 2007. We run creative writing workshops for kids ages 8 to 18. All of our workshops have a maximum of six students and are led by a published writer who has been fully trained in our time-tested methodology. In each of the past three years, more kids from Writopia Lab have been recognized on both the regional and national levels by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards than from any other school in the nation.
Reach Incorporated
REACH developed a unique system to help kids learn to read.
To address this crisis in adolescent literacy, we designed a model based on leading research in Education and Social Work.
REACH hires and train older students to tutor younger students.
We achieve dramatic improvements with our innovative, three-pronged approach:
- Training: Two days each week, teachers guide our tutors in preparing lesson plans grounded in the core components of literacy development.
- Tutoring: On two alternating days, our tutors provide reading instruction to elementary school students in need of support.
- Compensation: Our tutors are paid for program participation.
REACH IS getting results.
Reach is currently serving more than 90 students at Perry Street Prep, Eastern Senior High School, and Payne Elementary School.
- Thus far, 100% of partner teachers have reported that Reach participants experience significant growth in reading fluency and comprehension.
- 100% of our tutors report that they would recommend the program to a friend.
Selected for the 2011 Echoing Green Fellowship, Reach has been identified as one of the world’s most promising social ventures.
