Elementary School

In the early school years, girls and their allies begin to develop confidence as learners, and build the foundation for academic success. They also form attitudes about themselves in relation to school and their peers, family, and social groups that can last throughout their lives.

Girls Inc. supports success in elementary school by helping students master foundational academic skills, practice healthy behaviors, and build positive relationships with peers and adults. Girls and their allies begin to identify themselves as readers while acting out characters from books relevant to their experiences, wondering over STEM in their everyday lives as they engage in “jump rope math” and “schoolyard bug science,” and exploring healthy relationships with peers and staff.

Middle School

In middle school, girls and their allies learn to assert and express themselves, develop their self-image, and begin to define their own morals and values. 

They also look for connections between classroom learning and the world around them. The middle school years are a challenging time for many youth, as they are developing their understanding of themselves while facing many negative messages. 

 

Girls Inc. supports success in middle school by providing a wide range of physical and intellectual activities to explore, promoting sustained and increased interest in STEM, and providing opportunities to build self-confidence as girls and their allies think about their future. Participants try bike riding and hiking, and learn about media messages and all aspects of their health and wellness; engage in hands-on STEM projects and connect with STEM professionals; and talk about how to move into a safe and successful future in high school and beyond.

High School

In high school, girls and their allies gain a clearer understanding of their context in the community and the world. They gain more independence, navigate increased social pressures, and hone their sense of what they want to contribute as they move into their future. 

Girls Inc. supports success in high school by focusing on college- and career readiness, sisterhood, and community leadership. Participants gain valuable experience through coding projects and paid summer internships at some of the Bay Area’s top companies; go on college tours and learn about the college application and financial aid process; uplift themselves and their peers through health education; and leverage social change tools to advocate for positive change in the world around them.
