Girls Inc. of New Hampshire

The mission of Girls Inc. of New Hampshire is to inspire all girls to be Strong (through healthy living), Smart (through education), and Bold (through independence). As part of a national organization, Girls Inc. of NH has access to resources, training and research-based curriculum. Each year, Girls Inc. of NH provides thousands of girls with life-changing experiences and solutions to the unique challenges they face. The Girls Inc. Experience consists of people, an environment, and programming that, together, empower girls to succeed. Trained staff and volunteers build lasting, mentoring relationships in girls-only spaces that are physically and emotionally safe and where girls find a sisterhood of support with shared drive, mutual respect, and high expectations. Hands-on, research-based programs provide girls with the skills and knowledge to set goals, overcome obstacles, and improve academic performance. Informed by girls and their families, Girls Inc. also works with policymakers to advocate for legislation and initiatives that increase opportunities for girls. At Girls Inc., girls grow up healthy, educated, and independent. Girls Inc. programs address math and science education, pregnancy and drug abuse prevention, media literacy, economic literacy, adolescent health, violence prevention, careers and leadership, and sports participation. Programming takes place at 2 year-round Girls Centers (Nashua and Manchester) and in dozens of schools across the state.
