15 Reasons for 15 Years: Day 12

As we count down the last 15 days of our Holiday Appeal, we’re giving you 15 reasons — one per day — why we’ve been the premier writing organization for New York City’s underserved teen girls for 15 years.
100% of mentors say that their mentees write in their own unique voice. But we’ll let our mentees tell you that in their own words:

“I am more comfortable with showing people my writing. I have a lot of new ideas. I think my voice is clearer, and I learned how to write with better detail.” — Anais Figueroa, mentee
“When I look back to my GWN portfolio, I see that my writing voice has transformed from meek to vociferous.” — Idamaris Perez, mentee
“My voice is starting to sound like different people, not just like me in various situations.” — Cherish Smith, mentee
