Our Difference
Through the Girls Inc. Experience, our professionally trained staff and volunteers
provide mentorship, supportive environments, and evidence-based programming that respond to the challenges students face and support their success in school, work, and life.
We cultivate safe environments where young people are encouraged to take risks, learn from experiences, and grow.
Advocacy
Girls Inc. of NYC partners with and supports young people to expand access to the
resources, opportunities, and environments they need to thrive.
Our work centers the voices of girls and young people, especially those from communities that have historically faced barriers to opportunity, helping them grow into confident, capable leaders ready to make a difference.
Our Teen Leadership Circles empower and equip high school students with the skills and knowledge to become confident, capable, and engaged leaders, who effect change in their communities.
We also align with Girls Inc.’s National Advocacy Platform which prioritizes:
- Sexual health, safety, and autonomy
- Equitable access to education
- Voting rights and civic education
- Mental health and wellbeing
