Team "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" believes every girl deserves respect. On Sunday, June 9, 2019 we will walk or run a mile down North Avenue in New Rochelle to help raise awareness of the Girls Inc.

PURPOSE AND COMMUNITY NEED

According the Westchester Children’s Association’s 2016 Children By The Numbers report, “there is overwhelming evidence that age, race, location, and gender play major roles in determining a child’s well-being and life prospects, especially when it comes to poverty, future income, and education.” Disparities follow girls throughout their educational journey and beyond including higher education, economic security, and even professional success. Therefore, it is vital to understand the needs of under-served girls to design effective approaches to address their needs.


 
Individual fundraisers are helping propel Girls Inc. Westchester into the future.
