Mission Statement
Girls Inc. of New York City delivers life-changing programs that inspire girls to be strong, smart and bold.
About This Cause
Girls Inc. of New York City is a girl serving non-profit organization in NYC. We inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, through direct service and advocacy. We focus on the development of the whole girl where she learns to value herself, take risks, and discover and develop her inherent strengths. The combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment, and research-based programming equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent. Informed by girls and their families, we also advocate for legislation and policies to increase opportunities and rights for all girls. We aim to accomplish our mission through the following goals: - Provide educational programs to school-aged girls in areas where traditional curricula often fall short of encouraging girls to be their best; especially in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, math), economic literacy, and college acceptance. - Encourage girls to attend college or obtain advanced technical training and develop skills that will afford them economic independence and future security, and to postpone childbearing until they are psychologically, economically, and physically prepared to care for children of their own. - Teach girls to identify and be discerning about both overt and subliminal negative images (ranging from a lack of leadership ability and the victim role to portraying women and girls as sex objects) that workplaces, media, and society often project on girls and women. - Help girls attain emotional and physical well being through programs that stress the importance of self confidence and inner strength; anger management and non-violent self-defense; and healthy nutritional and physical patterns of behavior. - Deliver programs directly or in partnerships with others (community based organizations, city agencies, schools and corporations) to reach as many girls as possible, to have a a positive impact on their development.
