On March 11, 2023, teens became songwriters for the day! Nearly 100 WriteGirl teens and alums, many of whom previously would not have considered themselves songwriters at all, heard their words in a new light with the help of 11 accomplished guest songwriters and nearly 100 WriteGirl volunteers at WriteGirl’s 22nd Annual Songwriting Workshop and Showcase of Songs.

WriteGirl partnered with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County to host a writing day on Saturday, March 18th, 2023.

WriteGirl Teaching Artists led two professional development workshops for teachers in February 2023, one at the Whittier Public Library and another as part of the LACOE (Los Angeles County Office of Education) Literacy Lifts Conference in Alhambra.

As part of the international expansion WriteGirl has undertaken over the past two years, WriteGirl has begun facilitating creative writing workshops with a group of girls at a school in Kampala, Uganda. We held our second online workshop with them on Sunday, January 29, 2023.
