About Mighty Writers Atlantic City

Mission Statement
Think clearly and write with clarity is our battle cry, our tagline, our mantra. It's served as our mission statement since our launch in 2009. Not everyone--as is so strikingly apparent of late--thinks clearly. And even fewer people express themselves with clarity. But for those who nail both clarity of thought and expression, a lifetime of Mightiness is available for the taking. We're believers in the power of writing. But when Covid began to strangle our Mighty communities, our mission suddenly needed amending. You can't think or write with clarity if you're hungry. We began by distributing lunches to kids. As for teaching kids to write, we wouldn't dare let slip our once-and-forever mission. Our best bet is always to make sure MW kids stay safe while we work on new ways to serve the families and children who so graciously allow us into their communities.
