The Write-Right Literacy Program (WRLP)

Program Overview

Here at DFOWW Incorporated, we provide hunger relief and GED preparation classes to underprivileged, low-income, individuals, and communities. Our mission is to bridge the food insecurity and literacy achievement challenges that disproportionately impact low-income communities and families with children. 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 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. Our goal is to help 300 participants each fiscal year through our programs.

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 are low-income and/or experience food insecurity. For more information and how to apply, please email us at info@dfoww.org.

In an effort to help build the community, we offer academic literacy, nutrition, 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.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

I would definitely say that the program was by far the best program I’ve tried and successfully completed. I would recommend DFOWW to anyone trying to further their education.
