As the first writing and mentoring organization for girls, Girls Write Now has been a nationally respected leader in arts education for over 20 years. Girls Write Now breaks down the barriers of gender, race, and poverty, and innovates ways to elevate the voices of girls who are often not heard—or worse, silenced.
