WriteGirl

WriteGirl is a Los Angeles-based project of Community Partners, an American nonprofit organization. Since 2001, WriteGirl has paired professional women writers in the Los Angeles area with at-risk teenage girls who do not have access to creative writing or mentoring programs. The mentoring focuses on the craft of creative writing and empowerment through self-expression. By means of one-on-one sessions and monthly workshops, girls are given techniques, insights, and practical advice for writing in several genres: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, songwriting, and screenwriting. "I volunteer with about one hundred other volunteers, who come from a variety of different occupations. There are screenwriters, technical writers. That variety in our volunteer base gives texture to the organization," said volunteer Teresa Huang in an interview with Los Angeles magazine in 2013.100% of WriteGirl's graduating seniors have entered college, many on full or partial scholarships. This is particularly noteworthy because many of the girls come from at-risk communities where they are beating the odds just graduating from high school. In its 12th season, WriteGirl will be working with over 350 teens from over 80 high schools throughout Los Angeles County. Each year, WriteGirl publishes an anthology of work from the girls and their mentors. Collectively, WriteGirl anthologies have won a total of 45 international and national book awards.
