Thanks to the Central Indiana Community Foundation’s Neighbor Relief Fund Grant, we were able to provide some relief to 73 Girls Inc. Indy families in the form of $250 Kroger gift cards to use for food or gas.

As we wrap up the first session of our virtual programming, we’re reflecting on the incredible way girls are persevering in these challenging times. Though only four weeks long, our facilitators saw significant growth in the girls. One message we hope to impart to the girls in our program is that nothing can stop them.

In response to the challenges of 2020, Girls Inc. has strategized new and inventive ways to continue inspiring all girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold. We need volunteers to support these efforts! Virtual and in-person volunteer opportunities are available. Whether you are returning or new to Girls Inc. Indy, we welcome you to join our latest initiatives.  

Now more than ever, Girls Inc. Indy recognizes the importance of creating lessons that transcend beyond the classroom. That’s why this school year, girls ages 6-14 can participate in Girls Inc.’s intentional and research-based curriculum online, independently from their school.

On this International Day of the Girl, let’s ensure girls are heard and can bring their entire selves to their future because it’s well past time for them to lead. Let’s dig into the challenging work required to create intersectional equity for women and girls. Let’s be aware of the disparities between girls in our community, and use our words, our power, and our resources to lift up all girls.
