“I ask that you help these girls get the education they deserve.
They’re counting on us, and I have no intention of letting them down. I hope you will join me.”
—Michelle Obama, First Lady and Honorary Chair, Girls Inc.
 
At Girls Inc. of Holyoke, we fight for a future where girls are not stereotyped, where opportunities exist for them to prepare for interesting work and become economically independent—and receive equal pay for equal work.

Shockingly, girls still face these challenges:
1 in 6 girls will not finish high school
1 in 20 girls will become pregnant each year
1 in 4 girls will be a victim of childhood sexual abuse

Together we can create a country where the contributions of women and girls are fully recognized and embraced. Thank you for standing with Girls Inc. of Holyoke as we stand for girls.
