Hi! My name is Mary, and I’m a Girls Inc. of Alameda County participant going into 10th grade. This summer, a group of Girls Inc. of Alameda County high schoolers visited the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) to learn about medical school and explore careers in healthcare. When we arrived, we were greeted by two medical students who shared what it's really like to pursue a career in medicine. They talked about their day-to-day lives, their college journeys, and the experiences that helped them get where they are today. I connected with one mentor who shared how receiving mentorship helped him navigate college as a first-generation student. Since his parents hadn't attended college, they weren't able to guide him, so hearing how mentorship helped him succeed really resonated with me. It showed me the value of having my Girls Inc. of Alameda County community offer support, encouragement, and advice along the way. One of my favorite parts of the day was exploring real human organs—including the liver, lungs, and heart—and getting to see an ultrasound machine in action! Every station was so interesting, and I could ask questions and learn directly from the medical school students. By the end of the day, I felt inspired about my future and excited about continuing my education. This summer, I also interned with Girls Inc. of Alameda County's Development team. I helped draft social media content about the different programs going on this summer, and I learned about our donor database and the many ways our community supports our programs. It was awesome to experience opportunities like going to UCSF, while also learning more about the ins and outs of a nonprofit during my internship. Thank you for supporting opportunities for more girls like me!

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.

Our high school participants attended the Girls in Motion Summit at the Salesforce Transit Center, where they explored careers in transportation, engineering, and infrastructure. Workforce development begins long before a first job or internship. Experiences like the Girls in Motion Summit expose participants to careers they may never have considered, connect them with accomplished professionals, and help them begin building the skills, confidence, and social capital needed to thrive in tomorrow's workforce. Check out this reel created by Girls Inc. of Alameda County participant and summer intern, Lydia, to see behind-the-scenes of this exciting field trip! The day began with participants traveling together by BART to San Francisco before being welcomed to one of the region's most innovative transportation hubs. During the executive panel discussion, participants heard from Michelle Bouchard, CEO of Caltrain, Tilly Chang, Executive Director of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, and leaders from the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, who shared their career journeys, the challenges they have overcome, and the importance of increasing representation for women in STEM and infrastructure careers. The discussion was moderated by Michele DiFrancia of Parsons Corporation, encouraging participants to think beyond traditional career paths and consider the many opportunities available in these growing fields. After the panel, participants explored the Salesforce Transit Center through a series of interactive activities. They worked together during a scavenger hunt through Salesforce Park, learning about the innovative design and engineering behind the facility. They also toured areas rarely open to the public, including the future Caltrain trainbox beneath the station and the operations areas where they learned how buses travel directly from the Bay Bridge into the terminal without entering city streets. One of the day's most memorable discoveries was seeing how sensors in the bus terminal activate the fountains in the park above each time a bus passes beneath. We are so grateful to the summit organizers: ACEC Bay Bridge Chapter, WTS San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA).
