Every spring, we host our annual College Shower to celebrate a powerful milestone—our College Access Now (CAN!) seniors graduating high school and heading off to post-secondary education. The majority are the first in their families to reach this moment, and their journeys are nothing short of inspiring.   “Being in this program has helped me become who I am today. The girl that was quiet, reserved—looking at who I am now, and who I am becoming—I wouldn’t have even known that’s me,” reflects senior, Lynelle.   As part of our College Shower celebration, we send each graduate off with a backpack full of college essentials—items that help them start strong and feel supported as they take this next big step.  We invite you to be a part of this joyful tradition by purchasing an item from our Amazon Wish List.  From journals and toiletries to tech supplies and dorm room basics, every gift helps our students feel seen, celebrated, and prepared.  As a leading organization dedicated to advancing educational access and opportunity for girls and their allies, Girls Inc. of Alameda County is committed to providing sustained, high-quality programming that makes moments like these possible. Financial support from our community is essential to continue delivering these life-changing experiences.  We truly cannot do it without you.  Thank you for believing in the potential of our youth and for walking beside them on this exciting journey.  2024 College Shower Shop the list  and make an instantaneous difference for our seniors!  Hear directly from three of our graduating seniors and learn more about our College Access Now!
