Write Away Programs
Our Digital Literacy Mentorship changes students’ lives.
Digital literacy isn’t just about devices. It’s about fostering a deeper understanding of how to use digital platforms to communicate, express yourself, and make real change in the world.
The Digital Literacy Mentorship creates the space for students to learn about digital self-expression in a meaningful way. It’s is a nine-week (two hours per week) program that matches individual students with a mentor.
Mentors coach and guide mentees through a series of writing tasks that promote digital literacy, provide opportunities for creativity and individuality, and promote a love of writing.
