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 Write-Right Literacy Program (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 or older, wanting to obtain their GED/RLA are encouraged to apply. At-risk 16- & 17-year-old youth seeking enrollment will be considered with verifiable parental consent. Interested candidates should complete the WRLP application under our website’s Write-Right Literacy Program category.
Program participants must maintain a 70% overall cumulative grade average while enrolled in the program. In addition, during the final week of the semester, only program participants with a 70% average or above will be issued a voucher for $40 to cover the cost of the RLA exam. The nonprofit organization will assist eligible students in registering for the RLA examination at a state-approved in-person testing facility. Through our programs, our goal is to assist 300 participants each fiscal year. Due to staff shortages, the Write-Right Literacy Program spring semester start date of January 9, 2023, has been postponed until further notice.
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. Under this program, we host nutrition literacy events where all participants receive nutrition literacy information and nutritious meals. Low-income individuals, including families with children and/or primary caretakers of children under the age of 17 who experience food insecurity, can apply to enroll in the WRNP program. Eligible applicants will receive free groceries monthly. For more information and how to apply, please email us at info@dfoww.org.
In other news, we are pleased to announce that beginning January 1, 2023, we will officially launch The Write-Right Self-Publishing Program (WRSPP).
The Write-Right Self-Publishing Program (WRSPP)
Everyone has a story, and anyone who wants to share their story should be given the opportunity, irrespective of socioeconomic status. The Write-Right Self-Publishing Program is a series of writing workshops designed to assist inexperienced writers who want to strengthen
their voice and develop a greater understanding of the craft of writing and self-publishing their manuscripts. Participants will carefully be guided through the step-by-step process for writing and publishing their manuscripts without a traditional book publisher. This allows the author to retain control of all creative decisions and royalty profits.
In an effort to help build the community, we offer academic literacy, nutrition, book writing and self-publishing, and community resource workshops. If you are interested in learning more about our programs and event booking fees, please email us at info@dfoww.org.

All monthly special readings, writing workshops, and the WRLP schedules will be available in our website’s Announcement category on the 6th calendar day of each month. Please note that the date may change depending on national holidays and the board of directors’ recess periods.
We have also updated our Logophiles word game rules. Winners will receive $20.
All the programs we offer are free of charge; however, to make this possible, we rely on donations from the public.
