Additional Announcements
DFOWW INCORPORATED’S special online reading and writing workshop curriculum differs from the 14-week Write-Right Literacy Program (WRLP), which requires interested participants to meet certain requirements to register and enroll. We believe providing free special online workshops helps to provide supplementary academic support to individuals on the path to literacy proficiency. These workshops are open to everyone (both locally and globally) but target low-income and minority individuals in our immediate communities.
The WRLP is a 14-week adult literacy program that prepares adults to successfully take the Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA) portion of the GED test. United States residents, 18 years of age or older, wanting to obtain their GED/RLA, are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates should complete the WRLP application on our website under the Write-Right Literacy Program category. All participants successfully completing the three-and-a-half-month virtual literacy program will receive $200.00 in financial reward scholarships (GED vouchers). Our goal is to assist 300 participants each fiscal year through our programs.
The Write-Right Literacy Program spring semester tentative start date is January 9, 2023 – May 3, 2023. Spring Semester: January 9, 2023 – May 3, 2023. Students must submit their application by the following dates:
Registration begins November 28, 2022, and the registration deadline is December 30, 2022. Currently, our staff is preparing for the spring semester, so more information will be forthcoming.
Another program we offer is the Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP). This program addresses the food insecurity challenges that disproportionally impact low-income communities and families with children on the path to literacy. Under this program, all WRLP registered participants, in compliance with program guidelines, will also receive free food and grocery gift cards to purchase food for themselves and their children. In addition, we have officially opened our nutrition program to include senior citizens who experience food insecurity. For more information and how to apply, please email us at info@dfoww.org.

All the programs we offer are free of charge; however, to make this possible, we rely on donations from the public. If you are interested in donating to help fund the Write-Right Literacy Program and/or the Write-Right Nutrition Program, please visit our PayPal Giving Fund at the link below:

Because we are a 501(c)3 federal tax-exempt nonprofit charity organization, all donations made to the charity organization qualify as a tax write-off. We are currently seeking technical writers, computer science majors, IT specialists, editors, grant writers, and those with marketing and finance experience to serve on our Board of Directors. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please complete the board member application under the Join our Team category here on our website.
