Welcome to the CSU Writing Project, an affiliate of the National Writing Project. Since our site began in 2003, our mission has been to improve the teaching of writing by offering meaningful professional development for K-16 educators as well as innovative writing programs for students and communities. Informed by a social justice perspective, we are committed to providing equity and access to high-quality literacy programs for all learners. 
In light of COVID-19 concerns, we have changed our Summer 2020 programming
​to abide by social distancing guidelines.
