Mission

Girls Inc. of Wayne County inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold through direct service and advocacy. Our comprehensive approach to whole girl development equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers and grow up healthy, educated, and independent. These positive outcomes are achieved through three core elements:

People: trained staff and volunteers who build lasting, mentoring relationships
Environment: girls-only, physically and emotionally safe, where there is a sisterhood of support, high expectations, and mutual respect
Programming: research-based, hands-on and minds-on, age-appropriate, meeting the needs of today’s girls

Our services include on-site after-school and summer programming as well as off-site outreach programming in our local school systems. We strive to be a resource in our community for girl-related issues and are always available to assist families, girls and organizations in navigating those issues.

Testimonials

I wasn't born in Richmond and I had a hard time making friends; Girls Inc. enable me to make friends. Girls Inc. has really helped my life and I really enjoyed going there for plenty of reasons. I feel bad because this is my last year and I wish I could continue to come or at least work there. Girls Inc. and their staff mean a lot to me.
JaMarie

Bold is my word because I do try my hardest, I am outgoing, I love kids and people in general, I get involved with new activities and complete my tasks. It takes being strong and smart to become a bold outspoken young woman and I plan on being the same bold (sort) of person for the rest of my life. Thanks to Girls Inc. I can be.
Naomi

My favorite thing about Girls Inc. was the way (my girls) talked about it at the end of the day, full of stories about what they learned and did.
