Girls Incorporated commits its collective resources to implementing a balanced program of supplemental education that empowers girls to live and succeed in an inequitable world. Our programming clearly focuses on girls’ needs with the intent of making a difference in their lives as well as compensating for the gender discrimination girls encounter in society, enabling them to overcome barriers to reaching their full potential.

 

Our Programs

 

The six categories of programs that we offer to the girls are:

• Careers and Life Planning
• Health and Sexuality
• Leadership and Community Action
• Sports and Adventure
• Self-reliance and Life Skills
• Culture and Heritage

For each program category, there are objectives for the following age groups:

• Middle Childhood (girls ages 6-8)
• Pre-Adolescence (girls ages 9-11)
• Early Adolescence (girls 12-14)
• Middle Adolescence (girls 15-18)

To plan and conduct programming to meet each girls’ needs requires that the programming must be age appropriate. The age groups for each program category are guidelines and each child is assessed to determine her appropriate developmental stage.

 

Our Mission

 

To inspire all girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold.
