Programs: Girls Inc.'s proven programs cover every aspect of a girl's development to help her grow into her best self, physically, mentally, and emotionally. From early literacy to college prep, we equip girls with the skills and self-confidence to achieve academic success. Girls improve their study habits, sharpen their intellectual curiosity and learn to think and speak for themselves. Debunking the myth that girls can't excel in math and science, we inspire girls to take on these subjects with enthusiasm. As essential as academics are to a girl's success in life, she also needs to stay physically and mentally healthy. We know if a girl participates in athletics, she is less likely to drop out of school or abuse drugs and alcohol. Girls Inc.'s fitness programs get girls involved in team sports, swimming and even surfing! We promote proper nutrition and discuss challenging issues like personal safety, health, and sexuality in age appropriate ways. If a girl needs help, our Pathways Counseling Center is there for her and her family.
