Do the Write Thing (DtWT) was born out of the Kuwait-America Foundation’s desire to reduce youth violence in communities across the United States and its consequences on the lives of youth.

Launched in 1994, 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. By providing a space for youth to share their stories, experiences, and ideas, DtWT aims to expose the causes and effects of violence, and ultimately to empower young people to reduce violence in their communities.
