The GirlFriends Club is the innovative creation of a small group of girlfriends who shared a desire to give back to the community and a love for Girls Inc.’s mission: to inspire all girls to be strong smart and bold. Anne Luther, Laura Nixon Miller (GirlFriends Club President), Sudi Staub, Sarah Stokes (Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara Board President) and Caroline Thompson, envisioned a club made up of dedicated, successful, local women who were as passionate about Girls Inc. as they. The GirlFriend’s Club is designed to foster female camaraderie united for a common cause. Through specially designed events and activities members will create lasting memories with their own girlfriends while knowing that they are touching the lives of girls in the Santa Barbara and Goleta communities.
Girls Incorporated, founded 145 years ago, is a national non–profit organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold. The Santa Barbara affiliate, incorporated 51 years ago, serves an average of 500 — 600 girls everyday at two centers and through community and collaborative outreach programs and activities. Through educational programs and advocacy, Girls Inc. offers girls the opportunity to participate in research-based programs where they experience success as they acquire skills, gain confidence, and practice leadership.
