A Canadian Educational Charity that advocates creative literacy for children and youth – 100% volunteer-run.
关于我们
Ripple Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run Canadian educational charity. Ripple Foundation creates and delivers free community programs advocating creative literacy among children and youth. The benefits of creativity literacy include building confidence, boosting imagination, and promoting creative thinking and problem-solving. As a result, children and youth learn how to express themselves while expanding their reading and writing skills. There are our programs: Kids Write 4 Kids – An annual, nationwide creative writing contest for youth in grades 4-8. The winning stories are published as books made available for sale online. The proceeds from these book sales are donated to the winner’s charity of choice to foster a sense of philanthropy. Write It Workshops – A creative writing workshop for children and youth in grades 4-8, held every Saturday afternoon. Each lesson plan focuses on children’s writing skills through fun, interactive activities. Participants are encouraged to find their voice and gain confidence in their writing choices. These workshops also provide a foundation for young authors to participate in the Kids Write 4 Kids annual writing contest. Wave Blog – A blog dedicated to amplifying young authors' voices through publishing posts written by youth in grades 8-12. Students get to share their opinions and experiences on various topics that matter to them. New blog posts are published weekly. In addition, students can earn five volunteer hours per blog post. Visit ripplefoundation.ca to learn more about our free programs for children and youth in grades 4-12.

This month, we're celebrating Bhanvi Girdhar's journey from Ripple Foundation participant to volunteer. A little while back, Bhanvi submitted a story to our #KidsWrite4Kids competition and took part in our weekly #WriteItWorkshops. She had such a positive experience meeting like minded kids, that she decided to become a #WaveBlog contributor. Now she serves as a Workshop Facilitator, sharing her love of creative writing and empowering young writers. She says: "my involvement with this foundation has been nothing but amazing and it is a great opportunity for anyone else who wishes to inspire and ignite that passion of reading and writing and create the ripple effect for others out there in the world of literature."
