1994

In the spring of 1994, KAF launched a pilot program called Do the Write Thing (DtWT) in Washington, D.C. DtWT is a unique education program designed to give middle school students an outlet to communicate in classroom discussions and written form how violence impacts their daily lives. In addition to exposing the causes and impact of violence, students are asked to identify what they will do to address these problems. By emphasizing personal responsibility, DtWT ultimately seeks to empower young people to reduce violence in their communities.
