Mission Statement
DC WritersCorps is a not-for-profit community service organization whose mission is to use the reading, writing, and performance of literature and media arts to get DCPS students to read and write beyond the classroom. We use performances, writing, and media production to highlight students' creative and intellectual achievements.
