“Where I’m from, I’m told to keep my opposing views to myself -- and I started to believe that. But after this experience, I know that I should never let anyone silence me.” - Lauren, Girls Inc. of Tennessee Valley
Teen leaders from around the country gathered in Washington, DC. last month to grow as advocates and to voice their concerns and desire for change at the highest level of government. The four-day trip served as the culmination of each teen’s participation in the Girls Inc. Teen Advocacy Council (TAC), a year-long program that engages high school girls in advocacy and community organizing.

[[link removed]] Moody's Corporation Invests in Generation Giga GirlsSTEM programming is a cornerstone of the work of Girls Inc. Likewise, from their vantage point as leaders in the financial industry, Moody’s Corporation sees how crucial it is to encourage girls to consider careers in finance, economics, and technology now more than ever before. This aligned interest led Moody’s, alongside Girls Inc. of New York City, to create Moody’s Generation Giga Girls, or G³, a data analytics program for high school girls.
Enthusiastically embraced by girls and schools, G³ uses a unique social justice-based approach to introducing high school girls to the field of data analytics. Girls interact with characters on the G³ website to explore how data can be used to analyze issues important to them like school discipline and the relevance of their GPA.
Now, Moody’s, Girls Inc. of New York City, and Girls Inc. are all part of a larger partnership to make G³ available to girls across the nation. “Too often, young people from marginalized groups are systemically discouraged from considering careers in financial services and technology, due in part to the lack of opportunities as well as not seeing people like themselves—women, people of color, LGBTQI individuals—represented. Young people of all backgrounds deserve access, and Moody’s is proud to sponsor hands-on learning and mentorship through the Moody’s G3 program for the next generation of girls, especially those in communities with untapped potential,” says Arlene Isaacs-Lowe, Global Head of CSR, Moody’s Corporation and President, The Moody's Foundation.
Girls Inc. is proud to partner with organizations like Moody’s whose longstanding commitment to improving opportunities for girls in the STEM fields is proving transformational to so many girls every year.
