And we’re off! This fall, we launched Girls Write Now’s year-long intensive program for the Class of 2020 as well as our Writing Works program which teaches and demonstrates the importance of writing across industries. Hundreds of mentors and mentees will write, learn, and grow across the spectrum of race, class, gender, nationality, religion, and generations. Stay tuned to hear about their journeys and to experience their original work.
