According to a 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, three-quarters of both 12th and 8th graders lack proficiency in writing. 

Here at Pen&Quill, we want to rekindle the love for writing, starting with our youth. Starting to write can be difficult and intimidating––especially when you begin taking it more seriously––which is why we want to provide  young writers with everything they may need to find their voice.  By providing free & equal access to resources and opportunities, we hope to encourage and motivate aspiring young writers on their journey.
