Our Mission
Girls Inc. of New York City inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, delivering life transforming programs to girls and young women throughout New York City. We prepare girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, through education and advocacy, and to create a world that welcomes our daughters as well as our sons.

THE GIRLS WE SERVE
Girls Inc. serves girls ages 6 – 18 from diverse ethnic, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds.
45% of girls served are ages 12 – 18, a reflection of our focus on serving girls during developmentally crucial years of middle and high school.
70% identify as girls of color. Nearly 65% of the girls we serve live in families earning $30,000 or less a year, and 11% live in a household with an annual income of $10,000 or less.
