Why Girls Inc. of Metropolitan Dallas? |
|

|
|
Every day, young girls in Dallas are faced with critical decisions that may dramatically affect the rest of their life. At Girls Inc., we equip girls to stand up to peer pressure and make the right choices ... and we've been doing it for over 40 years.
We provide a safe haven for approximately 800 girls, ages 6 to 18, from economically challenged neighborhoods. |
 |
Our mission
We inspire all girls to be Strong, Smart and Bold. The vision of Girls Inc. is to enable girls, ages 6-18, who are from families with limited financial resources, to become strong, smart and bold, and graduate from high school equipped for success with personal effectiveness, academic, and career planning competencies. |
We're serving a critical need.
 |
Our four campuses located in West Dallas, South Dallas, North Oak Cliff, and Love Field currently have the capacity to provide quality programs for approximately 800 girls, ages 6-18, through after-school programming during the school year, and all day programming in the summer months.
69% of the girls' family incomes are less than $25,000 a year.
61% of the girls live with a single parent or neither parent. |
