OUR HISTORY Girls Inc. of Alameda County was founded in 1958 as the first Girls Club in Northern California. THE EARLY YEARS Girls Incorporated of Alameda County (Girls Inc.) was founded in 1958 as the first Girls Club in Northern California. We became an affiliate of the national Girls Clubs of America in 1960 and opened our first office serving 20 girls after school in a small house in San Leandro. 1958 – 1972 A STRONG FOUNDATION In 1973, Girls Inc. established a model focused on career development, recreation, education, and counseling. In 1976, we received a National Juvenile Justice Program award as the first Girls Club to work with girls in the juvenile justice system. Then, in 1978, we opened our Pathways Counseling Center to provide mental health services for youth and families, and added programs to treat child victims of sexual abuse and prevent teenage pregnancy. 1973 – 1979 CHANGE AND EXPANSION Girls Inc. received a major boost in the early 1980s when we joined forces with other girls’ organizations to successfully lobby the local United Way to increase its funding for girls. In 1994, we expanded into Oakland and changed our name to Girls Incorporated of Alameda County to better reflect the community we serve. 1980 – 1996 BUILDING THE PROGRAM CONTINUUM In 1997, Girls Inc. of Alameda County recognized the need for a continuum of programs to meet girls’ needs as they grew older and developed the Eureka program to steward girls from middle school through high school. In 1998, we adopted our current mission: “To inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.” Pathways began delivering services in schools in 1999, and that same year we developed GIRLStart, our acclaimed elementary school literacy program. In 2005, we partnered with SRI International to develop the Build IT curriculum to empower middle school girls to explore technology and design. Eureka, GIRLStart, and Build IT are among the programs that began at Girls Inc. of Alameda County and have been replicated across the nation. 1997 – 2009 STRONG, SMART, AND BOLD In 2010, Girls Inc. was honored by the Clinton Global Initiative as one of the “Commitments to Empower Girls and Women.” After a successful three-year capital campaign that raised $11.4 million, we opened the new Girls Inc. Simpson Center for Girls in 2013 and moved our headquarters to downtown Oakland. In April 2021, Pathways Counseling Center left Girls Inc. of Alameda County. Girls Inc. remains committed to providing support to staff, girls and their allies, and their families. Today, we provide a continuum of life-changing programs and counseling services in our Simpson Center for Girls and across more than 20 schools and satellite centers throughout Alameda County. We continue to believe in the power of girls. 2010 – PRESENT Stand with girls and their allies. Your generosity shows you believe in them and their potential.

This summer, Girls Inc. of Alameda County launched its Women in Trades Pilot Program, introducing high school girls to career pathways in the skilled trades. The program kicked off with woodworking workshops facilitated by the Retention Apprenticeship Program (RAMP) and led by union carpenter Olwyn Brown and an all-women crew of carpentry professionals. Under their guidance, high schoolers learned how to safely use tools and build their own carpentry project, choosing between a step stool, bookends, pencil holder, or phone stand. For many, it was their first time working with power tools and engaging in building projects. Seeing women leading the space, both teaching and modeling careers in the trades, was a powerful shift in perspective. “It was empowering to see women doing this kind of work,” one participant shared. “It made me feel like I could do it too.” The workshops kicked off a year-long series designed to expand students’ exposure to the skilled trades through hands-on learning, career panels, and mentorship. Providing early exposure to the skilled trades supports Girls Inc. of Alameda County’s broader workforce development initiative to equip girls with the skills and confidence to pursue diverse postsecondary and career pathways—including direct entry into the workforce. This summer alone, more than 90 youth and young adults are engaging in workforce development opportunities through Girls Inc.—64 high school students in internship placements and/or participating in skilled trades projects, and 27 young adults serving as apprentices in our Expanded Learning Apprenticeship Program .     You can help expand access to programs like the Women in Trades Project by investing in us today!
