GWN has been featured by The New York Times, NBC Nightly News, and the Wall Street Journal. In 2014, GWN was recognized by the Nonprofit Excellence Awards as one of New York’s top ten nonprofits, by the New York City Council as one of the city’s top six girl-funded initiatives, and by NBCUniversal Foundation’s 21st Century Solutions for social innovation.
