Inspiring All Girls to be Strong, Smart and Bold

A fundraising campaign for Girls Inc. of NYC

Girls Inc. of New York City has a strong track record of making a measurable difference in the lives of girls. We  prepare them for responsible and confident adulthood, economic independence and personal fulfillment by providing research-based programs. 

In addition to the gender and social barriers faced by all girls, many are burdened with the realities of childhood poverty. Children who grow up poor are more likely to struggle with cognitive and developmental issues, perform poorly in school, and experience violent victimization, and practice unhealthy nutritional habits.

Annually, we serve 6,000 girls living in the five boroughs of New York City.  Over 75% come from communities with an average household income of $30,000 and attend schools that are under resourced.

Support from donors enables us to provide free in-school and -out-of-school time programs.  Thank you!
