About Us

Girls Incorporated of Greater Atlanta annually serves more than 5,000
girls aged 6 to 18 through various outreach programs; through facilities
in Cobb County; and partnerships throughout metro Atlanta.

As one affiliate of the national Girls Incorporated organization, we are
dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold through year-
round programs in six core areas:

- career and life planning
- health and sexuality
- leadership and community actions
- sports and adventure
- self-reliance and life skills
- culture and heritage


Key Objectives and Goals:
Girls Incorporated develops research-based, informal education
programs that encourage girls to take educated risks and master
physical, intellectual and emotional challenges. Our programs
address math and science education, pregnancy prevention, media
literacy, adolescent health, child abuse prevention, substance abuse
prevention, and sports and cultural activities.


Number and Ages of Constituents:
Girls Incorporated serves girls ages 6 to 18. Over 50% of our girls
served come from single-parent homes, with an average yearly income
below $25,000. Our Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy (PAP) outreach
programs are offered in districts where the local Health Department has
identified high pregnancy rates by zip code and where schools and
organizations have indicated interest and need. More than 2,000 girls
are reached through the public schools.
