Global Writes is a nonprofit organization that connects learning communities in The Bronx and beyond. Their mission is to promote literacy, communication, and collaboration among young people through the integration of the arts, community building, and technology resources. One of their innovative programs is Skin in the Game, which utilizes game design and concepts in STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math) to engage participants in advanced, interdisciplinary learning.

This K-12 program allows students to create 2D board games that can transition into 3D video and VR games using technology-based applications. Students work in teams to design, prototype, and build games that explore characters, plot, and conflict resolution, providing real-world experiences and promoting pathways to academic and professional success. Global Writes has had a transformative effect in Bronx learning communities through programs like Bronx Writes, which combines creative writing, performance, and video conferencing to share student work.

They have received grants from various institutions to support their initiatives
