Violence and the fear of violence are major educational, social and health problems affecting our young people in Texas and the United States.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Texas Do the Write Thing Challenge is to protect our young people from violence, illicit drug use and other anti-social behaviors and influences by providing a venue in schools for them to personally commit to be constructive, productive and civic-minded citizens.  This effort involves parents, schools, communities and policy makers in initiatives to increase safety, reduce risky conduct and enhance the learning environment.
