At Girls Inc., we strive to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. We help girls reach their fullest potential by providing gender-specific, age-appropriate programming that teaches life skills and promotes healthy life choices.
In 2010, Girls Inc. services were delivered to over 8,000 Birmingham area youth. Our research-based programs focus on health and wellness, economic literacy, and career preparedness. We recognize that the climate for girls is always changing and we pursue programs that address the greatest needs for school-age girls in our community. We are committed to effectiveness measurement and collaboration in order to provide valuable services to as many girls as possible.
Mystery Photo Project Connects Girls Inc. with Alumnae
Our new Mystery Photo Project is a fun way to reconnect with women who have formerly participated in our programs. A special Facebook photo album includes a variety of photos from throughout our history, and we hope visitors will “tag” photos so we can start to identify who is in them. This effort will help us grow our list of alumnae. Check out our Mystery Photo Project online!
Former Girls Inc. and Girls Club members who would like to join the alumnae database should contact Erin Melaney at 205-599-5683 or emelaney@girlsinccentral-al.org.
