Reaching More Girls
Across the Valley
Girls Inc.’s strategic plan calls for geographic expansion, focusing on communities that have a high concentration of low-income families. Over the next 5 years, we will grow by 300% to meet the educational and developmental needs of girls in Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke and beyond.
Our partnerships with area public schools hold great promise, providing a critical long-term means to reach the girls who need us most. We bring our trained experienced staff and our research-based curricula directly to the schools.
School partners commit dedicated space in their buildings for a Girls Inc. Center, and assist with recruitment, scheduling and enrollment. Inside the schools we are able to replicate the empowering girls-only, pro-girl environment that characterizes our current Holyoke program centers.
