Programs
Inspiring all Girls to be
Smart, Strong and Bold.
Girls Inc. of Long Island serves girls ages 5-18 across Nassau and Suffolk County. Our research-based programming is delivered by trained professionals who focus on the development of the whole girl, supporting, mentoring, and guiding girls in an affirming, pro-girl environment.
We offer a holistic approach that addresses the whole girl, physically, socially, emotionally and academically, helping them to successfully navigate the world.
Here, girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their inherent strengths, and receive the support they need to navigate the challenges they face. Girls Inc. girls live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school, and more likely to graduate from post-secondary education; and they display diligence, perseverance and resilience.
School Programs
Our school-based programs include research-based core curricula, which address specific issues related to education, health and safety, and community action. Through their school, girls participate in 30 weekly sessions between October and May for ongoing engagement and the full Girls Inc. Experience.
