Our programming falls into six core areas:
• Career choice and life planning
• Self-reliance and life skills
• Health and sexuality
• Sports and adventure
• Leadership and community action
• Culture and heritage

Operation SMART®
A hands-on math, science, and technology program that gives girls the chance to dismantle machines, care for and study insects and small animals, and solve logic puzzles.

Girls Inc. Media Literacy®
Encourages girls to think critically about media messages and fosters their awareness of the scope and power of the media and its effects of girls and women. Girls gain media literacy skills that enhance their ability to critically examine and advocate for change in entertainment, news and advertising media.

Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy®
Through interactive, informal learning, girls are encouraged to “own the discovery” that they have the right to be whatever they set their minds to be. The program is focused on motivating girls to make smart choices, either by choosing to postpone sex or by using effective protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Economic Literacy®
Girls, as young as six, are introduced to basic financial concepts including money management and investment. They look at how money affects us locally and globally to foster the development of skills needed to be financially self-sufficient. Girls learn how to budget, save, take informed financial risks, and avoid feeling intimidated about money. The ability to use basic economic concepts to make decisions about saving, sharing, and making money, or economic literacy, is a skill. Like reading and writing, a working knowledge of basic money concepts is essential for future success. Whether a girl is from a low-income or wealthy home, at some point in her life she is likely to be responsible for her own financial well being.

Friendly PEERsuasion®
A unique response to girls’ needs, the program approaches drug-abuse prevention as a peer issue, using the positive influence of young people modeling healthy behavior.

Project BOLD®
Girls and young women learn skills, techniques, and attitudes that can help them live safer lives and overcome the effects of past abuse. Teaching violence prevention strategies and advocating for social change takes time, and requires a developmental approach and long-term commitment.

Sporting Chance®
This program provides girls with opportunities to have fun; learn basic movement and sport skills; increase their coordination, endurance, and strength; consider the career opportunities connected to sports; and learn about successful athletes and the history of women in sports. They learn how to be both cooperative and competitive, and how to discipline their bodies and their minds. Steppingstones and Bridges are two age appropriate components of this program.

Commit to be Fit
A nationally recognized locally created spring/summer community outreach program that focuses on individualized fitness and requires girls and their families to record their eating and fitness activities, as well as participate in optional, free bi-weekly events, including fitness activities and nutrition workshops.
