Wish list

We are fortunate to have very generous supporters and someone has purchased every item on our wish list for the members of Girls Inc. But we still have “wishes.” We 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.
