Meet Ellen Archer & Karina Itzel
Board Chair Ellen Archer knows the impact of mentorship firsthand.
“Every time I saw my mentee Karina’s face light up with newfound understanding, or witness her overcome a hurdle she once deemed insurmountable, I was reminded of the incredible potential that lies within each Girls Write Now mentee.”
Thanks to Ellen’s support and encouragement, Karina now works as a Marketing Assistant at Simon & Schuster. Their relationship is a testament to how Girls Write Now’s mentoring program can shape futures and open doors to a multitude of professional opportunities.
Now through December 31, Ellen will match every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 total. Double your impact today!
