“Writing is a way to understand the world and myself. This is just the beginning.” —Massange Kamara, mentee

Girls Write Now works on the basis of intense commitment—our mentees sign up for a demanding year of daily effort and constant challenge as they learn various genres of writing and a range of life skills. Girls Write Now promises an equally intensive investment, one that is highly effective and economical compared to similar services.

Girls Write Now has completed 75% of an ambitious five-year growth plan to:

  • Expand: We have increased from 100 to 600 girls/gender non-conforming youth served annually
  • Enrich: Integrated curriculum across Creative, Critical, Digital writing—producing cutting edge work across genres and media
  • Extend: Professional development on the pathway to a wide range of industries in which writing proves crucial
  • Elevate: Increased opportunities to amplify diverse voices

Give. Write. Now.

Girls Write Now is a leader in making the historical transformation to online learning while doing what we always do, writing and mentoring during critical moments in young people’s lives. Invest in Girls Write Now, the next generation of writers and leaders we so badly need now.

GIVE. WRITE. NOW. And Thank you!!

Girls Write Now’s services are more essential than ever before—serving the hardest hit communities—and many of our young women and gender nonconforming youth have themselves become essential workers to help their families. They carry an enormous burden and face devastating loss, slipping further into poverty. To meet the need, we have enriched and extended our programs, leading the historical transition to virtual learning.
