Mission

OUR MISSION

The Write of Your L!fe™ – the flagship initiative from Women Wonder Writers – is a 12-week program with a mission to boost student academic success and social safety in breaking the cycle of victimization and abuse through Social Emotional Learning, writing, arts and hands-on intervention programs.
 
We bring this program to schools and other facilities in California and beyond to effect long-term positive change on the individual level.

OUR VISION

It is our vision to strengthen youth, their families, and the community we serve by:
 
  • Teaching youth the tools and skills to manage adversity and challenges at school, with peers, and at home
  • Empowering youth to take charge of their academic and personal success
  • Increasing student graduation rates to boost life options and decrease cyclical crime & victimization
  • Building tolerance, empathy, respectful expression, and personal resilience
  • Establishing a foundation for students to say no to negativity and to say yes to working on a positive future

Meeting Participants Where They’re At

The Write of Your L!fe™ is designed to creatively engage and mentor those who have been affected by trauma, crime, or any other hardships, teaching them resilience, empathy, and healthy self expression through art and writing. We encourage participants to write their journey and overcome their past so they can become dynamic, successful, and confident individuals.

For Students, Parents, and Educators

Students who face challenges at home may struggle in the traditional academic setting. As a student, parent, or educator, this can present many challenges and questions about what to do next.

 

The Write of Your L!fe™ offers a safe space for students to practice healthy forms of self-expression, gain communication and cooperation skills, and learn to negotiate conflict effectively. Learn more about how you can participate as a student, parent, or educator below.
