Girls Incorporated is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. With roots dating to 1864, Girls Inc has provided vital educational programs to millions of American girls, particularly those in high-risk, underserved areas.

Today, innovative programs help girls confront subtle societal messages about their value and potential, and prepare them to lead successful, independent, and fulfilling lives.

Girls Incorporated programming can be offered anywhere girls are found, including Girls Incorporated centers, schools, churches, community centers and housing projects. The majority of Girls Incorporated centers are located in low-income areas and provide a weekly average of 30 hours of after-school, weekend and summer activities. Girls Incorporated serves girls at Girls Incorporated centers and at other sites through collaboration with other youth agencies, school systems and individual educators.

Girls Inc develops research-based informal education programs that encourage girls to take risks and master physical, intellectual and emotional challenges. Major programs address math and science education, pregnancy and drug abuse prevention, media literacy, economic literacy, adolescent health, violence prevention, and sports participation.
