The Changes We Seek
ECONOMIC MOBILITY Girls Inc. helps girls improve their economic mobility and not be limited by the zip code in which they are born. Through our evidence-based, age-appropriate curricula, girls learn from an early age about careers, college, and healthy money management. At Girls Inc., we inspire girls to set educational and career goals and empower them to achieve them. Our programs provide girls with the skills and self- confidence they need to contribute to the economy and make strong, smart, and bold decisions about their financial futures. GENDER PARITY IN STEM Girls Inc. helps girls break barriers and reform systems by placing emphasis on STEM fields where women are underrepresented. We provide girls with the educational opportunities and career exposure they need to pursue careers in STEM. Our programs allow girls to gain confidence in math and science by participating in hands-on STEM activities. Through our Operation Smart and Eureka! STEM programs, our girls are given the tools they need to succeed! TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION We provide girls with the skills, insights, values, motivation, and support to understand their physical development, postpone sexual activity and make healthy decisions. Adolescent pregnancy presents formidable challenges for teens’ development into productive adults. Most youth and parents say teens need comprehensive sexual education. This is especially important for young women, who deal most directly with the consequences of teen pregnancy. Through age-appropriate courses, girls learn about topics like puberty, healthy relationships, and reproduction.
