Inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis inspires girls to be strong, smart, and bold by delivering engaging, empowering programs.
Girls and their families can find our programs, which are delivered by trained volunteer facilitators, at schools, youth organizations, and other community centers throughout greater Indianapolis. Girls Inc. program curriculum focuses on the unique challenges girls face.
We want all girls to be healthy, educated, and independent. We recognize that each girl and each family is unique, and we seek to reinforce, not replace, the positive messages you, as caring adults, share with your girls.
Girls Inc. also ensures that our programs are age-appropriate by customizing the content for each of our age groups: 6-8, 9-11, 12-14, and 15-18. All of our programs are split into one-hour sessions and are delivered over the course of six weeks. Our programs are offered on a rotating basis throughout the year, as Girls Inc. divides the year into fall I, fall II, winter, spring, and summer cycles of programming.
