Girls On Fire Campaign (Year 3)

Imagine a space just for young ladies  who are makers... daughters, sisters, coders, scientists, artists, crafters, poets, musicians, dancers, athletes, collaborators, designers, friends, confidants, superstars....  This is our 3rd year using GoFund Me to fund our programs. Our goal to raise cumualtively $6,250 to support young ladies in grades 7-12, in  creating art and writing for submissions for awards and scholarship opportunites well as serve a gateway for young ladies to consider careers in knowledge-based and creative economy.  

The Girls on Fire Art & Writing Workshop  is  co-organized by Peggy Savage. We have some exciting partners: The Philadelphia Writing Project, The Free Library of Philadelphia,  U School and other Teen Art, Writing and Coding  Fellows and Mentors. 

Girls on Fire Art and Writing is a companion program to Boys Write Now Art and Writing workshops. Both programs were originally set up as a summer enrichment programs. However, due to demand and equity issues, Girls on Fire Programs runs during the  summer and the school year . The program also  provides online mentoring and support for students to submit entries for the NAACP  ACT-SO Contest which  includes 29 competitions in STEM, humanities, business, and performing, visual and culinary arts.
