Girls Incorporated is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.  With National Girls Inc. roots dating back to 1864, and local roots dating back to the 1950s, Girls Inc. has responded to the changing needs of girls through award-winning, innovative after-school and summer educational enrichment programs and through public education efforts that empower girls to understand, value, and assert their rights.

Girls Inc. programs for girls ages 4 ½ to 18 years old focus on science, math, and technology; economic and financial literacy; athletics; health and sexuality; culture and heritage; leadership and advocacy; and media literacy. 

Girls Inc. has launched a "Dear World" public education
campaign as part of an on-going commitment by Girls Inc. to show girls that their voices are trusted, respected, and valued and to raise awareness about issues that affect girls’ everyday lives. “The Dear World campaign celebrates the passion, imaginative spirit, and intelligence of girls, their ability to go beyond gender stereotypes, and the importance of positive outlets for girls to express themselves,” says Joyce M. Roché, Girls Inc. President and CEO, “We hope
that this exciting new campaign inspires adults and girls to recognize the power and value of girls’ voices.” Television spots and a website dedicated to giving girls a positive place to express their daily realities, hopes, fears, and dreams are available at www.girlsinc.org/dearworld.

Every day, all year round in Santa Barbara and Goleta, Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara serves over 1,000 children at two Girls Inc. centers, elementary schools, and through Girls Inc. gymnastics, counseling, and other outreach programs.
