Our Impact

Girls Inc. of NYC is changing the trajectory of girls’ and young women’s lives.

Powerful Impact for Powerful Girls

Our outcomes demonstrate that with the right opportunities to grow and learn, girls, young women, and gender-expansive youth are creating the realities that meet their ambitions. We equip girls and young women to disrupt the status quo and ensure they have equal opportunities to take their places as the leaders they are.

Our Reach

Every year, we are reaching more girls and young women, establishing partnerships with more schools, and training more educators and students to deliver our programs at their schools.

We thrive on watching them succeed.
