About Do The Write Thing
The Do the Write Thing Texas Challenge began in Houston, Harris County as part of the nation-wide Do the Write Thing Challenge and has expanded across the region and across Texas.
Each year, all across America students are rising to the challenge of doing something to end youth violence. The Do the Write Thing Challenge gives middle school students an opportunity to examine the impact of youth violence on their lives. Through classroom discussions based on real-life based topical issues and writings, students are strengthening relationships between their teachers and themselves as well as their parents.
