Girls Inc. of Jacksonville

Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart and bold through life-changing programs and experiences that help girls navigate gender, economic and social barriers. Research-based curricula, delivered by trained, mentoring professionals in a positive all-girl environment equip girls to achieve academically; lead healthy and physically active lives; manage money; navigate media messages; and discover an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. The network of local Girls Inc. nonprofit organizations serves 125,000 girls ages 5-18 annually across the United States and Canada. 

A major difference in Girls Inc. methodology is that all of our programs are facilitated by trained professional staff and have measurable outcomes that assess the lessons learned. We focus on reaching girls in their formative years, educating them on choices they may not know they have, before they make decisions that can so negatively impact their lives.
 
Providing these programs is the cornerstone of our charter in Jacksonville. In the past year we were able to reach 1,700 girls in the Jacksonville area through our two centers, our outreach programs at schools and churches and our summer camp programs. We’re proud of our accomplishment, but believe this only the beginning and there are so many more girls that we need to reach.
