Over 3,000 Girls Served Annually

Girls Incorporated of Greater Atlanta annually serves more than 3,000 girls aged 6 to 18 through various outreach programs; through after-school and summer camp programs at our Cobb/Marietta Center; and partnerships throughout Metro Atlanta.

As one affiliate of the national Girls Incorporated organization, we are dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold through year- round programs in six core areas:

• career and life planning
• health and sexuality
• leadership and community actions
• sports and adventure
• self-reliance and life skills
• culture and heritage

Key Objectives and Goals:

Girls Incorporated develops research-based, informal education programs that encourage girls to take educated risks and master physical,intellectual and emotional challenges. Our programs address math and science education, pregnancy prevention, media literacy, adolescent health, child abuse prevention, substance abuse prevention, and sports and cultural activities.

Number and Ages of Constituents:

Girls Incorporated serves girls ages 6 to 18. Over 50% of our girls served come from single-parent homes, with an average yearly income below $25,000. Our Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy (PAP) outreach programs are offered in districts where the local Health Department has identified high pregnancy rates by zip code and where schools and organizations have indicated interest and need. More than 2,000 girls are reached through the public schools.

Research-Based Programs:

Girls Incorporated researched-based programs are available through our Outreach Department to other youth-serving agencies such as Girl Scouts,churches and synagogues, public and private schools, and in collaboration with funding sponsors.
