Description

Founded in 2001, WriteGirl is a nationally-recognized creative writing and mentoring organization serving more than 500 teen girls/gender-expansive youth annually, mainly from LA's high-density neighborhoods. Now in its 23rd season, WriteGirl has maintained a 100 percent success rate in helping its seniors not only graduate from high school, but also enroll in college. WriteGirl received national attention in 2021 when WriteGirl alum Amanda Gorman perform ed her poetry at the Biden-Harris Inauguration. WriteGirl also works with boys and co-ed groups under the name "Bold Ink Writers." As a founding member of the Arts for Healing and Justice Network (AHJN), Bold Ink Writers brings creative writing workshops and mentors to youth who are incarcerated or systems-involved.
