As we look back on the fiscal year 2022, we feel a sense of accomplishment coupled with overwhelm. We are living in a decade with more promise for girls than any generation has ever seen. At Girls Inc. of Metropolitan Dallas, we are experiencing profound growth - serving nearly 40% more girls in FY22 than the previous year. We see girls in our programs every day who are successfully overcoming challenges and achieving their dreams. Taking the Lead
But for every girl we reach, there are hundreds more in our community who cannot access our life-changing programs. We have made an intentional decision to focus our efforts on the girls who need us the most, those from low- income, under-resourced districts in Dallas. We know that everyone has been impacted by the global pandemic, economic crisis, and social unrest. However, the pressures placed on youth, especially those from low-income households, are staggering. This year, we saw girls face increased struggles with mental health and ever- widening gaps in educational outcomes. In response, we shifted focus and increased academic enrichment programs like virtual homework help, one-on-one tutoring and increased school and community partnerships. Our healthy living and social and emotional learning programs became the most requested, and our team worked
with partners to provide resources for not only the girls in our programs, but for their families as well.
Our overall outcomes remain incredible, but the impacts of the last few years on mental wellness and related outcomes are evident. We also know that it will take years to overcome the academic losses suffered, but our programming works and we are up for the challenge. Thanks to the unwavering support of our partners, donors, board and staff, we finished FY22 with solid financials and are well positioned to achieve our bold goal of serving 25,000 girls by 2030. Thank you for partnering with us to inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold.
