Spring 2027

Teach GWN

In this Journey, members of the GWN community will develop curriculum and facilitate a Community Studio for one or more cycles within GWN’s Collaboratory structure. Each cycle involves facilitating three Community Studios, one per month. Mentees and mentors will gain valuable skills in leadership, teaching, and community building. Mentees and mentors can facilitate a Community Studio either independently (if they are 18 or older) or together as a pair. Through the experience, mentees will build confidence as leaders and educators, while mentors will develop their teaching and facilitation skills, learn effective educational practices, and help cultivate a vibrant, peer-driven learning community.

What Past Participants Have to Say

“The community that Girls Write Now has and how much I learn on a daily basis. Girls Write Now has helped me so much throughout the years with me pushing out work even when times are hard for me.”
Ruby Gabrielle Nicholson Mentee
“The most valuable part of Girls Write Now is the community studios, as they’re a perfect opportunity to connect with other GWN members while also working on your personal skillset. Many community studios also focus on other art forms other than writing or connecting them to writing, encouraging people to build other skills outside of just writing.”

“Girls Write Now provided me a welcoming, relieving, judgement-free space to explore my writing voice, decompress through vulnerable conversations, and build my confidence in teaching.”

“My mentee specifically stated that she wanted to learn more about teaching and how to write lesson plans. We were able to work closely building our lessons together until she eventually was able to complete a lesson plan entirely on her own! She left being a more confident teacher and I watched her take control of our community studios and blossom into a fierce leader.”
Ashley-Anna Aboreden Mentor

Independent Study (Spring 2027)

Create your own experience with our Independent Study Journey. Mentees and mentors meet as a pair, attend events of interest, and use coursework to support creative projects and personal goals. Along the way, you can connect with others during a mid-cycle mixer designed to spark inspiration, share ideas, and build community. The Journey culminates in a showcase where participants present the work they have developed throughout the cycle and celebrate their accomplishments together. Mentees and mentors will benefit by gaining greater independence in their learning, deepening their creative practice, and building meaningful connections while pursuing self-directed goals.

Screenwriting: Crafting Short Film Stories (Spring 2027)

This two-cycle Journey guides participants from crafting a short film script to bringing it to life on screen. In the first cycle, mentors and mentees focus on developing compelling stories, dynamic characters, and engaging dialogue, learning the essentials of screenwriting for short films. In the second cycle, participants move from script to screen, exploring the practical aspects of video production, including planning, collaboration, and bringing their creative vision to life. By the end of the journey, mentees will have both a polished script and hands-on experience in producing their own short film.
