Pen-to-Paper Literacy, Learning, and Writing Support
Mission Statement: The Quirky Pickle Education Foundation raises literacy rates across America by helping children and adults build stronger reading and writing skills, and a lifelong love of reading, through learning so creative and pressure-free, they hardly notice they’re learning.
Join us in our mission to raise literacy rates across the United States, with unique methods that motivate hands-on learning and engagement. Your donations help fund workshops, where we provide essential materials and resources for Title I students and those in need.
Thanks to your help, we can empower more people with the benefits that come from knowing how to read and write with confidence.

Community-Focused Workshops
We offer hands-on workshops that promote literacy and creativity. Literacy goes beyond knowing how to read a book. We offer assistance with job-seeking skills, cursive and penmanship, creative writing workshops for all ages, and more.
Support for Title I Students
Our programs are designed to assist students in need with essential resources, from enrichment education for all, to school supplies and books, as well as helping supplement nutritional needs during learning sessions or supported events.
Creative Learning Environment
We create a fun, pressure-free space for all participants. Not a place for judgment or grades, and always a place for sharing, connecting, and learning in a collaborative and goal-centered way. Providing a safe space for mistakes and creativity while gently bringing kids back to pen-to-paper analog learning, using motivational techniques that make the learning a bonus byproduct of people having a good time doing something offline and making new friends.
