Girls Write Nashville is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Nashville, TN that empowers teen girls through songwriting, production, mentorship, and creative community building. Their research-driven curriculum is designed to build resilience and confidence in girls while creating an inclusive and safe music scene. They offer free programs in Title I MNPS middle schools, providing accessible and inclusive opportunities for female-identifying and nonbinary students to express themselves through music. Founded in 2016, Girls Write Nashville offers after-school Writers Guilds for 6th-8th graders, where participants learn to write and record original music in a supportive community led by trauma-informed teaching artists. They also have an All City Mentorship Guild for 8th-12th graders, pairing them with local professional songwriters for bi-weekly meetings. The organization aims to create a safe and inclusive path to cultural participation within Nashville's music scene, and their participants produce and record a compilation album of their songs every year.Generated from the website
