Writing Change
Girls Write Now is proud to be a part of WRITING CHANGE, a three-year initiative to advance literacy globally. Led by the Estée Lauder Companies and inspired by Global Changemaker, Amanda Gorman, WRITING CHANGE helps Girls Write Now shape future advocates and activists, promote innovative approaches to igniting social change through artistic expression in youth, and continue to provide equitable access to literacy education across the nation.
“For youth, literacy is the pathway to social expression that leads to progress. I truly believe that words lead to action that can change the world.”
