Mighty Writers

Mission:

Each year at Mighty Writers we teach more than 4,500 kids to think clearly and write with clarity so they can achieve success. We host writing workshops in Greater Philadelphia, New Jersey and Texas. Since 2020, we’ve been distributing groceries and other essentials to families in our communities.

Mighty Writers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in 2009. All of our programs are free to the children and families we serve.

We are deeply saddened and disturbed by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis. George’s story is the story of too many Black Americans – Ahmaud Arbery, Breona Taylor, Trayvon Martin, and so many more, named and unnamed by the media— brutally and senselessly killed.

This loss of Black life and our persistent failure to bring those responsible to account expose the most grotesque, painful truth about our nation: the enduring legacy of white supremacy.

We will not heal until things change.

Camden Education Fund stands in solidarity with the Black community.

We remain deeply committed to bringing resources to support our public schools and the extraordinary youth-serving organizations in Camden, as we believe these are the institutions with the greatest potential to show our children, daily, that their lives and dreams matter.

The reality is that all organizations – ours included – have so much more work to do. We will hold ourselves accountable to building an organization that advances equity, promotes understanding, and dismantles racist structures.
