Inspiring all Girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold

Girls Inc. of Long Island serves middle and high school girls across Nassau and Suffolk County through School-Based Programs and Community Programs.

The Girls Inc. Experience is a comprehensive evidence-based program that bridges learning and skills gaps between academics and life while reinforcing the academic process. Girls Inc. uses a holistic approach that addresses the unique needs of girls and provides interactive, hands-on experiences.

Our approach supports the whole girl – physically, socially, emotionally, and academically – helping her navigate adolescence and beyond. Our programs deliver informal, engaging, age-appropriate information to help girls develop the skills and self-confidence necessary to navigate successfully through the challenges of growing up female in today’s society.

Trained staff build lasting, mentoring relationships in pro-girls led by female professionals. Girls Inc. provides spaces that are physically and emotionally safe and where girls find a sisterhood of support with shared drive, mutual respect, and high expectations.

At Girls Inc. of Long Island, girls are encouraged to value their whole selves, build on their unique strengths, and access the resources and relationships they need to thrive. Girl’s Inc. participants are more likely to lead healthy, active lifestyles; stay engaged in school; pursue post-secondary education; and demonstrate the confidence, persistence, and resilience to succeed in school, work, and life. Girls Inc. girls are healthy (strong), educated (smart), and independent (bold).
