Writers in Action
Writers in Action (WIA) enables MFA candidates to become agents of social change with a creative-writing focused arts-in-education program that connects MFA students with public schools and community-based organizations (CBOs) in Wilmington. MFA students work with students ages 7-18 in a classroom-style setting and create their own curricula tailored to the needs of their students.
