Girls Inc. (our national organization) is a nonprofit organization that serves girls ages 9 -18, primarily in afterschool and summer programs delivered by 78 local affiliates at more than 1,500 sites in 350 cities across the United States and Canada. Girls Inc. creates a pro-girl environment and utilizes evidence-based programming to equip girls with the tools they need to grow up strong, smart, and bold.

Girls Inc. also works to advance the rights and opportunities of girls and young women, to reduce and eliminate the barriers they face, and to reform systems that impede their success. We are committed to girl-centered advocacy, informed by the lived experiences of girls, and girl-led advocacy that prepares girls to be change agents in their communities and beyond.

STAND FOR YOUR MISSION

Public policy impacts the work of nonprofits.  The most effective boards recognize this and leverage advocacy as a way to stand up for the mission and people they serve. 

Stand for Your Mission is designed to unleash the power of the nonprofit sector through advocacy. It flows from a deep belief in the role of nonprofit organizations in identifying solutions and finding common ground and an unwavering commitment to the communities and people we serve.
