Writing Partners is the brainchild of a non-profit organization called Write to Succeed, Inc. The program was designed to foster mentor-like relationships through literacy. Writing Partners Program was first piloted at Sacramento State in the summer of 2005 by Dr. Catherine Gabor, then with the English Department, a former member of Write to Succeed, Inc. and co-creator of the original Writing Partners Program. Since then, Writing Partners has run every semester at Sac State, in courses such as nursing, teacher education, EOP, first-year student seminars, and composition.
Through the program Students learn that writing has the power to help them make connections between communities, and how to connect with others within their community.
Faculty can tailor Writing Partners to meet discipline-specific learning goals and objectives. For more information and/or to find out how you can integrate a service learning Writing Partners project into your course(s), attend an introductory workshop or email cecenter@csus.edu.
