Careers
Our team is passionate about amplifying diverse voices across industries. These positions—all rooted in writing, mentoring, equity and wellness—will lead Girls Write Now through an exciting period of growth as we build a powerhouse of unheard voices across industries.
Leadership
The IV (Intersectional Voices) Committees are Girls Write Now leadership bodies, each designed for the community to have a voice and take a stake in the organization’s key initiatives and policies.
Investment
You’re here because you already know that when you can write, you can do anything. When you give, together we can do everything.
