Writers Corps was founded in 1994 in three American urban centers--San Francisco, California, Washington, D.C., and the Bronx, New York--with a mission to transform lives through the written word. Since its inception, the organization has helped forty thousand children and teenagers improve their writing skills and express their ideas and experiences. WritersCorps has published two collections of teen poems with HarperTeen: Paint Me Like I Am and Tell the World.
