My Nonprofit Reviews

My experience with WriteGirl started in 2014 when I went looking for a way to support other young women and find community in the Los Angeles area. I spent almost four years attending workshops in some of the most amazing places in the city and meeting extraordinary girls and women writers participating in the program. Every WriteGirl activity has a very special sense of community, inclusion, and inspiration. The first priority of the staff and volunteers is to encourage and inspire the girls at every turn. It has meant so much to me to mentor and be mentored by this group of women. When I moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas I deeply missed WriteGirl and the sense of connection it gave me to my former home. One silver lining of the pandemic has been the organization's seamless move to virtual engagement. I was able to start volunteering again virtually. As someone who works from home and spends a lot of time on Zoom calls, WriteGirl virtual workshops are works of art. The team puts a herculean effort into creating a magical space for the girls that feels both like a vacation and like coming home. I have not seen another organization produce such wonderful virtual content.
