Girls Write Now

Founded over two decades ago, GIRLS WRITE NOW is New York’s first and only organization with a writing and mentoring model for girls. We are a community of professional writers dedicated to providing opportunities for underserved high school girls to develop their independent voices and write their way to a better future. Girls Write Now has been distinguished by The New York Times and the White House—twice—as one of the nation’s top after-school arts and culture programs, and is a two-time Nonprofit Excellence award winner.
