Additional Announcements
The Write-Right Entrepreneurship Program (WREP)
WREP provides guidance to entrepreneurs who are passionate about a cause on how to start a non-profit in Georgia, as well as the sustainability of the non-profit through pecuniary resources, grants, and funding. The program also provides mentorship and guidance to youth wanting to be entrepreneurs. Many people want to start their own businesses but lack the skills and resources to become an entrepreneur. However, entrepreneurship paves the way for generating wealth and higher earnings. The benefits of owning a business extend beyond the business that is established. Entrepreneurs improve the lives of individuals, communities, and the overall economy. Entrepreneurship promotes innovation and self-reliance, as well as generates employment opportunities.

The Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP)
This program addresses food insecurity challenges disproportionately impacting low-income communities and families with children. Under this program, we host low-cost community workshops in which all participants receive nutrition literacy information and a complimentary, healthy meal. Low-income families with children and/or primary caretakers of children under 17 who experience food insecurity, can apply to enroll in the WRNP program. Eligible applicants will receive free food contingent on available grant funding. For more information and to learn how to apply, please email us at info@dfoww.org.
While local food banks often provide exigent, necessary food to those in need, the Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP) provides nutritious meals to families with children along with nutrition literacy information workshops. This allows participants to obtain, process and understand nutrition information and skills needed to make appropriate nutrition related decisions. The Write-Right Nutrition program consists of 6 in-person workshops totaling 36 hours of curriculum for the whole family. A certificate of completion will be awarded to participants who complete all 6 workshops. The Write-Right Nutrition Program is our nonprofit organization’s core program, and it is free for all kids 17 years of age and under.
The Write-Right Literacy Program (WRLP)
The Write-Right Literacy Program is a series of in-person and virtual workshops aligned with the common core standards and are designed to address literacy achievement challenges unique to low-income communities and families with children. The WRLP was developed to assist low-income individuals over 18 without a high school diploma to take the Reasoning Through Language Arts portion of the state GED test. At-risk 16- and 17-year-old youth seeking enrollment will only be considered with verifiable parental consent. The WRLP is listed on the National Literacy Directory (NLD) website.
