womp womp - Anonymous employee Girls Write Now Employee Review

I have so much respect for Girls Write Now as a former employee and mentee. They are phenomenal to work for.

Pretty much the same downsides of working for any kind of nonprofit.

The organization has a compelling mission to support young women and gender-expansive individuals in creative writing and career development. Opportunities to work with talented mentees and develop meaningful programming. Provides an outlet for creative professionals to contribute to an inspiring cause.

Microaggressions and racist undertones permeate the workplace culture, with minimal acknowledgment or efforts to address these issues meaningfully. Decisions often reflect a lack of diversity in leadership, leading to a disconnect between the organization's stated values and its internal practices. Staff feedback on these critical matters is frequently ignored or downplayed, leaving employees of color feeling undervalued and unsupported.
