| Mission: | Girls Incorporated® is a nonprofit organization that inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. At Girls Inc., we are committed to empowering girls and using our mission to lead the way in creating an equitable society for all. We are determined to get our message to every girl in this country; it is a message that all girls need and deserve to hear. With local roots dating to 1864 and national status since 1945, Girls Inc. has responded to the changing needs of girls and their communities through research-based programs and advocacy that empower girls to reach their full potential and to understand, value, and assert their rights. Girls Inc. public education extends our empowering messages to a broad audience, offering tools for both girls and adults to engage actively with our mission. Programs focus on science, math, and technology, health and sexuality, economic and financial literacy, sports skills, leadership and advocacy, and media literacy for girls ages 6 to 18 throughout the United States and in Canada. While our goal is to reach all girls, we recognize that girls in at-risk communities have an even greater need for our programs. Of those we serve, 70% are girls of color and 65% come from families earning $25,000 or less. Nearly half are from single-parent households, most of which are headed by women. In 2007, Girls Inc. reached over 900,000 girls through direct service, the website, and Girls Inc. products and publications. Guided by our vision of empowered girls and an equitable society, Girls Inc. is committed to reaching millions more girls through its programs and public education efforts. |
