Whether you're new to Girls Inc. or have known us for years, we wanted to share a little more about what we do.
We are a network of local Girls Inc. nonprofit organizations who serve girls ages 6-18 at more than 1,400 sites in 400 cities across the United States and Canada. Our research-based programming is delivered by trained professionals who focus on the development of the whole girl, supporting, mentoring, and guiding girls in an affirming, pro-girl environment.
Informed by girls and their families, we also tackle the systemic barriers that affect the conditions in which girls are growing up. We engage in advocacy that focuses on the needs of girls from low-income communities and girls who face multiple, intersectional challenges. Additionally in October of 2018, we launched our #GirlsToo campaign, which focuses on the effects of sexual harassment and violence in the lives of youth, particularly girls, with actions aimed at addressing the norms and stereotypes that fuel these behaviors.
