To inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold™, and to respect themselves and the world around them.
Girls Inc. serves 1,400 girls in 41 schools with research-based programs and trained professionals (often older teens) who mentor them in a safe environment. Girls are inspired to pursue secondary education, develop leadership and decision-making skills, resist peer pressure, serve their communities, and acquire the ability and wisdom to lead healthy lifestyles.
These two programs are offered to girls — ages 9-14 — to inspire them to set health and wellness goals that include:
• develop healthy relationships • practice assertive communication skills • avoid unhealthy behaviors • manage stress • handle conflict • understand reproductive health • identify and stand up for their values
We request your support for 150 girls to participate in 10-12 interactive sessions, plus a college field trip.
Thank you for your contribution!
Girls Inc. gave me a safe space where I was able to find peace, confidence, courage, and love within myself which has given me the motivation to work harder towards my education so I can one day reach all my goals.
