About Us

Girls Inc. of Alameda County’s mission is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Since our founding in 1958, our programs have supported the unique needs of girls. In the 1990s, we began to design and deliver programs focusing on girls within San Francisco Bay Area communities that have the least access to opportunity. Through a transitional kindergarten through early career Program Continuum, we empower youth by equipping them with the resources, skills, and access needed to build confidence, visualize and pursue their dreams, and grow into healthy, educated, and independent adults. All programs are developmentally appropriate, supporting the changing needs of youth as they grow. From literacy interventions in elementary school and exciting hands-on STEAM projects in middle school to building leadership skills, taking on paid internships, and college readiness in high school, and college persistence and early career supports, including workforce development, Girls Inc. provides the support and opportunities young people need to thrive at no cost to participants and their families.

As well we deliver summer programming in two Oakland locations as well as Hayward, and an earn-and-learn workforce development program for young adults who earn wages with Girls Inc. and receive free college courses towards their AA degree. In all, Girls Inc. of Alameda County provided robust programming to nearly 1750 youth in 2023-24.
