SANTA BARBARA CENTER
Located at 531 East Ortega Street, our Santa Barbara Center has inspired thousands of girls to be strong, smart & bold
since opening its doors in 1958. Girls from kindergarten to 18 years of age participate in our after school and all day summer programs in an all
girl environment. Our summer program hours are from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm and after school program hours are from school dismissal to 6:00 pm. We provide transportation from schools in the Santa Barbara School
District to our center. We are licensed by the State of California, Community Care Licensing and meet or exceed these standards.
Girls at our Santa Barbara Center receive quality, structured programming consistent with Girls Incorporated's
Philosophy and Approach to Programming. Each quarter girls select which programs they would like to participate in for that specific
quarter. For example, a girl may select Pets & Vets on Mondays, Earth Action on Tuesdays, Operation SMART on Wednesdays, and Softball on Thursdays. On
Fridays, girls participate in various clubs and special activities. Click here to view Class Schedules. Quarters generally last 10
weeks. Girls select programs for their specific age group.
Program Staff at our Santa Barbara Center have degrees or are pursuing degrees in such fields as elementary education, psychology,
sociology, dramatic arts, biology, sports and recreation. All staff meet or exceed state licensing requirements. Program Staff
receive extensive training throughout their employment at Girls Inc. Training focuses on child development (cognitive, physical,
emotional) with a specific emphasis on girls' needs, behavior guidance and facilitation skills, curriculum writing and implementation,
and program evaluation. Program staff to girl ratio is 1:14.
