WriteGirl Teaching Artists
We're excited to introduce our team of Teaching Artists for WriteGirl and Bold Ink Writers. Our Teaching Artists are all accomplished writers with a passion for inspiring young people to discover their confidence and creativity. They are leading workshops both online and in-person at community centers, schools, parks and libraries in partnership with a variety of organizations. These partner programs allow us to extend programs to young people across the Los Angeles region, throughout the U.S. and even internationally. To inquire about bringing workshops to your school or community, please reach out to us at office@writegirl.org or 213-253-2655.
“I love teaching because I get to help others become aware of, step into, and embrace more of their potential. Teaching allows me the honor of witnessing teens discover more of their unique gifts and talents. And I always walk away from a session feeling I’ve grown and discovered more about myself in the process as well.”
