We also wish for supporters to become advocates for girls! You don't have to be a volunteer at Girls Inc. to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and
bold. There are many things you can do to help girls in our community...
- Introduce girls to career options at your place of business.
- Introduce girls to financial concepts that your business deals with on a daily basis.
- Engage your colleagues in a discussion about the Girls Inc.
Girls' Bill of Rights.
- Introduce girls to top women leaders in your organization or company
- Find out if your organization supports programs that empower girls; if not, advocate for it!
- Encourage equal opportunities for girls and sports in your school system.
- Advocate for gender-awareness training for businesses.
- Advocate for a safe environment for girls in the schools and other environments.
- Be in favor of fair and safe juvenile facilities that adequately meet the needs of girls.
Does our juvenile justice system understand the different needs of girls and boys?
- Become involved in organizations that serve girls, such as Girls Incorporated of Monroe County. We are looking for passionate individuals to serve on our board.
