The Resources

We provide laptops for all of our participants at our labs. Pens and pads are also provided for those who prefer writing by hand.

Our Neighbors

Pizzaria Uno (Uno Chicago Grill) on West 81st Street in New York was the first business to offer to display our students' writing on their walls! Many others have quickly followed suit. See the full lineup of businesses that partner with us in our Radiant Windows project. We also regularly run free events at the St Agnes Branch of the New York Public Library and at Bryant Park!
