Organization Details

Girls Write Now connects our young aspiring writers to accomplished women, to encourage self-expression and charting a bright future. Our program includes: -One-on-one Mentoring: We pair at-risk girls (mentees) and professional women volunteers (mentors) according to their interests. These pairs engage in writing/editing sessions once a week throughout the school year.

These projects are incorporated into a writing portfolio, edited with the help of the girls? mentors, to prepare them for job interviews, internships, contests, scholarships and the like.

-Writing Workshops: Our genre-based workshops (attended by mentees and mentors) are held one Saturday a month at Teachers & Writers Collaborative. Fiction, poetry, playwriting, memoir and journalism are used to explore issues and themes such as social justice, gender, race, and religion.

-Special Events: GWN sponsors college and career seminars, individual college counseling sessions with a certified guidance counselor, cultural field trips, and public readings featuring original student works.
