San Francisco WritersCorps places professional writers in community settings to teach creative writing to youth.

Since its inception in 1994, the program has helped over 15,000 young people from neighborhoods throughout San Francisco improve their literacy and increase their desire to learn.

WritersCorps publishes award-winning publications and produces local and national events featuring young people. The program is part of a national alliance with sites in the Bronx and Washington, D.C., whose shared vision is to transform and strengthen individuals and communities using the written word.
