Write To Be

Equipping girls and women to be fearless authors of their own lives.

We envision a world where girls realize their full potential, are not afraid to pursue opportunity, are empowered agents of positive change, and the world recognizes their value. Through positive relationships we engage in conversation to encourage self discovery, cultivate community, and equip girls with the tools to be fearless authors of their own lives.

Our Annual Trivia Night Fundraiser is back!

Join us virtually on Thursday, March 26th at 7:30 PM EST for a night to make an impact!

This year, in honor of Women’s History Month in March, Write to Be’s Trivia Night theme celebrates Revolutionary Haitian Women, past and present. We’re excited to spotlight the powerful stories of women who have shaped Haiti’s history through courage, leadership, and resilience and whose legacies continue to inspire. And of course - all proceeds from the evening will directly support Write to Be’s Fi Ki Fò (“strong girl”) after-school program. Your participation funds academic support, school supplies, field trips, mentorship, and other resources our students need to thrive.

It’s going to be a fun night, whether you’re a trivia pro or just in it to learn, come meet people, win some prizes, and make a difference!

Tickets are on sale now. Save $5 with the code HERSTORY link in bio!

Each girl presented her dreams, values, and goals—out loud, in front of her peers.
And they crushed it!🩷 💫 Help us continue to support the next generation of fearless leaders—donate today and make their voices heard. 🔗link in bio.
