Celebrate Erica's Birthday by celebrating WriteGirl

Help me support underserved teens & the 25th anniversary of WriteGirl!

Hi Everyone,

Join me in supporting WriteGirl! I have been a WriteGirl volunteer for [X] years. [Insert personal story about your experience with WriteGirl - what you have seen or felt!]

Founded in 2001, WriteGirl is a nationally recognized creative writing and mentoring organization serving more than 1,000 teens annually, mainly from LA's high-density neighborhoods. WriteGirl envisions a world where all teens live, write, and speak boldly as they become inspiring, transformative leaders, driven to effect positive change in their communities and the world. WriteGirl alums go on to a wide variety of careers, including careers in the creative economy, such as WriteGirl alum, poet and activist Amanda Gorman.

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of WriteGirl. In this moment, with 25 years of success in helping thousands of teen girls and gender-expansive youth thrive, WriteGirl is seeking financial contributions to support this important lifeline of programming for teens. And WriteGirl needs your help!

The teens WriteGirl works with have been particularly impacted by cuts to social safety nets, housing insecurity, mental health struggles, violence and incarceration. They are some of the most vulnerable in LA County and in the U.S. WriteGirl’s LGBTQIA+ teens are particularly vulnerable, given the impact of changing laws and federal cuts. WriteGirl hears directly from teens and parents about these very difficult challenges, and always does whatever they can to support these teens or refer them to specific resources they might need.

WriteGirl is a rare community where teens feel supported and uplifted. They tell WriteGirl “I feel safe here.” WriteGirl has doubled-down on their efforts, including matching more teens than ever with their own caring mentor, and increasing the frequency of their workshops and services.

I’ve created a fundraiser to support WriteGirl! You can help me raise vital funds for WriteGirl.

Thank you for supporting this cause I care so much about!

Hi [Donor Name],

Thank you so much for your generous donation to my fundraising campaign for WriteGirl. Your donation helps WriteGirl provide year-round creative writing workshops, one-on-one mentoring, publications and college entrance guidance for underserved youth!

As a teen writer, US Presidential Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman got her first opportunities to perform poetry through WriteGirl events. She told Vogue magazine: “I learned poetry through WriteGirl… It was absolutely electrifying for me when I was in high school to have that opportunity.”

In gratitude for your support, WriteGirl would like to share this excerpt of a poem entitled “Three Lamps” written by WriteGirl member Jane Han, age 17. It’s featured in their newest publication, Lines & Breaks: An Online Literary Journal from WriteGirl. I hope it inspires you!

Thank you for supporting WriteGirl as they help teens write their way to brilliant futures!

Warmly,
[Your Name]
