United Way Southwest Louisiana’s WriteStart Project Initiative bridges critical gaps in education—especially in rural areas—by providing the essential tools and resources schools and families need to succeed. Instead of individual backpacks, WriteStart supplies bulk school materials, covers school fees for ALICE families, and funds professional development for teachers to strengthen classroom instruction. The initiative even supports school-wide needs like walkie talkies for safer drop-off and pick-up procedures. In communities where resources are often stretched thin, WriteStart helps create equitable learning environments where students, educators, and families can all thrive.
