GIRLS INC. OF SARASOTA COUNTY

Spirit of Giving - December 2022

THE MISSION OF GIRLS INC. is to inspire all girls to be STRONG, SMART, and BOLD. We achieve this through delivering research-based programming focused on academic enrichment, healthy living, and life skills. We provide after school and summer programming for girls ages 5-18 in a pro-girl environment. Other Girls Inc. programs include our High School Initiative and the Eureka! STEM Program to promote enrollment in post-secondary education. These programs occur both on-site and off-site and offer girls a variety of opportunities in career exploration and personal development. Additionally, Girls Inc. offers therapeutic support to every girl and family enrolled through the Family Strengthening Program (FSP). The FSP eliminates barriers and offers a continuum of services to address the social-emotional health of girls while strengthening a family’s communication.
