Good afternoon,
WriteGirl is seeking some amazing new female mentors to empower our creative teens through their writing. We run a weekly writing workshop series for teen girls in two detention camps in Santa Clarita. Could you pass this along to your network of women (past students, former teachers or counselors, lawyers) who might be interested in helping coach girls in creative writing?
