What We Do
New Generation of Strong, Smart, Bold Girl Leaders.
Each year, Girls Inc. of Greater Atlanta serves nearly 500 girls ages 5 to 18 through in-school, after-school and summer programs. 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. Here, girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their inherent strengths, and receive the support they need to navigate the challenges they face.
Girls Inc. girls live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school, and more likely to graduate from post-secondary education; and they display diligence, perseverance and resilience.
Our Difference
Through the Girls Inc. Experience, our professionally trained staff and volunteers provide mentorship, safe spaces, and programming that address the unique challenges girls face and are proven to help girls succeed.
We cultivate safe environments where girls are encouraged to take risks, learn from experiences, and grow.
Advocacy & Education
Girls Inc. works with and for girls to advocate for policies to overcome the social and systemic barriers that threaten their ability to succeed.
Together, we advocate especially for the needs of girls from low-income communities and those who may face discrimination because of their gender, race, religion, ethnicity, immigration status, disability, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and gender identity.
