Girls Write Now
Founded twenty years ago, Girls Write Now is New York’s first and only writing and mentoring organization for girls, and one of the nation’s top after-school programs. The writers—90% high-need and 95% girls of color—have performed at Lincoln Center and the United Nations, published original work in Newsweek, The New York Times, and BuzzFeed, and earned hundreds of Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for their anthologies. 100% of Girls Write Now’s seniors go to college—more than half with awards and scholarships. Girls Write Now has been featured in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, NBC Nightly News, ABC Good Morning, Glamour, Elle, Upworthy, and many others. www.girlswritenow.org.
