New name. New leadership. A renewed commitment to the students we serve
First Draft Academyis the new parent organization name overseeing our suite of educational programs. Under this centralized structure, Write on Sports will continue to serve as our flagship initiative, advancing youth literacy through sports journalism. In addition, Write on Arts and The Media Lab will remain integral components of our programmatic opportunities, each contributing to our broader mission of empowering young people through the lens of journalism, which builds self-confidence, critical thinking, and literacy skills in middle school students.
This transition reflects our commitment to strategic growth, operational clarity, and sustained impact across disciplines.
