At Girls Write Now, we use writing as a vehicle to build real relationships and offer holistic services for woman-identifying, trans* and gender-expansive young adults from systemically disadvantaged backgrounds—mentoring them throughout high school, college, career and beyond.
Our mentees are passionate dreamers and innovative thinkers who have a story to tell. Our mentors are dedicated professionals who care deeply about communication—no matter the industry they work in. Mentors and mentees hail from all five NYC boroughs, across the nation and originally from around the world.
Applications for 2022-2023 are closed. Please email mentor@girlswritenow.org or mentee@girlswritenow.org if you have any questions.
