Girls Incorporated® of Greater Los Angeles is a program of Volunteers of America of
Greater Los Angeles, provides girls with tools to make the best choices in life, assert their rights,
and become empowered around academic, economic, and social issues.

Outreach and Programming
     Annually, Girls Inc. serves over 17,000 girls ages 6-18+ through 15 direct services sites in schools, housing developments, and community centers, and through program partnerships in the Greater Los Angeles area. This research-based curricula focuses on health, pregnancy prevention, economic literacy, philanthropy, entrepreneurial, media literacy and math/science skill enhancement. 

Target Audience
     Our mission is to inspire all girls to reach their highest potential regardless of their economic status, social, cultural or religious background. Our girls are typically from single parent households and the overwhelming majority fall economically below the poverty level.   Due in part to the financial constraints on the part of girls and their families and caregivers, Girls Inc. strives to make participation as user-friendly as possible.  (see list of schools below)

Goals and Objectives
    Programs target skill development and informational needs of different age groups, focusing on critical thinking, decision-making, communication, pressure resistance, accurate information, the support of caring adults and examination of life options.

Support
    The primary challenge we are faced with is trying to meet the demands for our programs.  We receive ongoing requests from parents, community leaders, schools and girls.  Our ability to expand into many new areas is hindered by limited monetary and staff resources.  There are several opportunities to sponsor Girls Inc. programs in existing sites or in your local community.
