​

Girls in GINYC comprehensive high school sites had higher passing rates than female peers citywide on Regents exams in math, science, ELA, and history. They also had higher passing rates than females in their host schools in general.

Our approach is integrated, positive, and developmentally appropriate. Going against the deficit model which bombards girls with what not to do, we encourage girls to say yes to exciting challenges, growth-encouraging risks, and valuable new experiences.

We work to improve girls’ lives beyond academic achievement. Our programs are designed to improve girls’ emotional development by challenging them to discover their full potential.
