WRITING CHANGE Inspired by Amanda Gorman – The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.

Mission

Literacy builds self-efficacy and esteem, unlocks opportunity, and empowers people to participate fully in their community and in society. Yet, despite the steady rise in literacy rates over the years, more than 250 million children around the world lack foundational literacy skills. In the United States, over 763 million adults cannot read and write, two thirds being women.

WRITING CHANGE invests in organizations increasing access to tools, resources, and programming that are essential to  sustained progress in literacy and learning, particularly for girls and gender-expansive youth and artists in low-income or rural communities and in communities of color.
