Inspiring girls to be

STRONG, SMART, and BOLD

OUR MISSION​

Girls Inc. of New York City inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, delivering life transforming programs to girls, young women, and gender-expansive youth throughout New York City. Through education and advocacy, we prepare girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers to advance to a more equitable world.

Girls Inc. of NYC is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, operating separately from the Girls Inc. national office. Every day, Girls Inc. of NYC is on the ground, delivering services that reach 10,000 young people at sites across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.

Whether you identify as a cis- or trans girl or as a non-binary individual—wherever you are on your journey of gender expression and identity—you are welcome here.

GIRLS INC. BILL OF RIGHTS

Girls, young, women, and gender-expansive youth have the right:

  1. To be themselves and to resist gender stereotypes.

  2. To express themselves with originality and enthusiasm.

  3. To take risks, to strive freely, and to take pride in success.

  4. To accept and appreciate their bodies.

  5. To have confidence in themselves and to be safe in the world.

  6. To prepare for interesting work and economic independence.
