Calling Runners in NYC: Run for LitWorld!

Dear LitWorld Friend,

We are honored to have been invited to participate as a charity partner in this year’s United Airlines NYC Half, an annual race that attracts more than 24,000 runners, and is hosted by New York Road Runners.

At LitWorld, our mission is to strengthen kids and communities through the power of stories, a mission that aligns with New York Road Runners' vision to build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power of running.

Are YOU interested in supporting LitWorld’s mission while meeting that New Year’s resolution? Let us help! We have 5 bibs available for serious runners ready to participate in the marathon and peer-to-peer fundraising on behalf of LitWorld.

Celebrating International Day of the Girl

Dear LitWorld Friend,

In 2011, the United Nations declared October 11th as the International Day of the Girl, a day dedicated to recognizing the rights of girls. Since then, LitWorld has celebrated this day, rallying our global community to join our "Stand Up for Girls" campaign, where we advocate for every girl's right to share her story and transform the world.

The LitWorld community has proudly celebrated the International Day of the Girl for the past 13 years, and this year was no different.

Our global partners commemorated this day by putting together special activities to empower girls in their local communities, and we couldn’t be prouder to stand united in this mission alongside them.

Thanks to your support, we can continue to Stand Up for Girls not just on October 11th, but every single day.

#TellEveryStory

Dear Friend,

This year we've been celebrating the value and the joy of embracing every voice with our #TellEveryStory campaign.  

We know how important each and every one of our perspectives is as we work toward a world of true equity and inclusion.

As a community-centered organization, we value the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant minds and big hearts who believe in our mission to uplift children through the power of stories.  And that includes you!

This is why we’d like to invite you to be a part of LitWorld’s narrative. As part of our mission to #TellEveryStory, we’d like to tell yours!

Please take a moment to share about yourself via this Google Form.

We’ll be sharing all of the stories we collect as we celebrate LitWorld's work this year over the next several months, and we hope we can include yours!

The Origins of PRIDE

The Origins of PRIDE

As we approach the end of the vibrant and spirited celebrations of PRIDE month, LitWorld wanted to take a moment to reflect on the origins and profound significance of this event. PRIDE is not just a parade; it is a powerful movement that symbolizes the resilience, courage, and unity of the LGBTQ+ community and celebrates the right to #TellEveryStory.
