Impact Stories

“Girls Inc. is a freeing place to go each week. I enjoy bonding with all the girls in the group and no one is here to judge you. Being in an all girls group makes us feel comfortable to talk about all the things we’re going through.”

“Girls Inc. is a safe place to get away from everything going on at school and at home.”

“I come to Girls Inc, because you can express your feelings and I can be who I really am here.”

“I enjoy seeing my friends and our facilitators every week at Girls Inc. I like the activities we do; today we got to make lip balm. I love laughing and I always get to laugh at Girls Inc.”

“I get to meet new people and get even closer with my friends.”

“I come to Girls Inc. because I feel free here.”

“I get the opportunity to express my true self at Girls Inc.”

“What stuck with me the most was being taught by intelligent women. Being exposed to a female work environment at a young age helped to give me the confidence I need as a young woman in the world we live in to be able to put myself out there and not second guess myself. Working in the female summer program environments inspired me to explore different fields of sciences as well as other typically male dominated careers while trying to figure out what career best suits me and what I might want to pursue. It gave me courage that I don’t think I would have had if I wasn’t blessed with the opportunity to be encouraged and taught by empowering women.”

“The motto of Girls Inc. is girls being strong, smart and bold. I didn’t consider myself to have any of these traits. If I’m being honest, it took me a while to even realize the true value of myself. Being in Bold Future Leaders helped me find myself as a person. Participating in the group activities gave me the courage to engage more in school; both socially and academically. Joining Bold Future Leaders has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It has been a great experience for me and continues to change my life everyday.”
