We are proud to announce this year’s 2026 Strong, Smart & Bold Gala Honorees—Ay’Anna Moody, Executive Director of the Golden State Community Foundation, and Jess Smith, President of the Golden State Valkyries—two extraordinary leaders whose work across philanthropy and professional sports is shaping opportunity for girls and young women across the Bay Area. Ay’Anna Moody has been a champion of Girls Inc. of Alameda County, helping strengthen the organization’s partnership with the Golden State Warriors and expand new opportunities through collaboration with the Golden State Valkyries. Over the past decade, the Golden State Community Foundation has granted more than $600,000 to support our program continuum. In addition to financial support, this partnership has created numerous experiences for participants, including mentorship opportunities, career exposure, and behind-the-scenes access to professional sports careers and environments. Jess Smith has played a pivotal role in launching the Valkyries during a historic moment for women’s sports, building a franchise that is already making a powerful impact across the Bay Area. In the team’s first season, the Valkyries partnered with Girls Inc. of Alameda County through initiatives such as Free Throws for Futures, while also creating meaningful engagement opportunities for youth, including mentorship experiences and special events that connect girls with women leaders in sports and beyond.  Together, their work reflects a shared commitment to investing in girls, strengthening communities, and ensuring the next generation of young women can see themselves in positions of leadership and impact.  Don’t miss your chance to hear directly from our honorees as they take the stage during the event, and join us in celebrating their leadership and the girls whose futures they are inspiring.

March 2026 We are sharing an important clarification regarding recent news coverage involving our neighboring affiliate, Girls Inc. of Island City (headquartered in Alameda). While we recognize that this is a difficult time for a fellow youth-serving organization, it is important to clarify that this situation does not involve Girls Inc. of Alameda County. Although we are both affiliates of the Girls Inc. national network, our organization is a separate nonprofit 501(c)(3) with its own leadership and financial stewardship. We are headquartered in Oakland and serve youth across Alameda County and other parts of the East Bay, and we do not operate programs in the City of Alameda. Confusion can sometimes arise due to similarities in organizational names and geographies, and we are actively working to ensure that accurate distinctions are communicated. Girls Inc. of Alameda County remains committed to the highest standards of financial stewardship, transparency, and accountability. Our organization maintains strong financial controls by distributing financial responsibilities across multiple individuals and implementing clear, controlled disbursement processes. Financial performance is reviewed monthly by leadership and the Board Finance Committee, and we undergo an annual independent audit conducted by a third party. These practices are guided by well-documented policies and procedures that ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship. We deeply value the trust you place in our work and in the young people we serve.

We were thrilled to welcome Kate Martin and Kaitlyn Chen of the WNBA’s Golden State Valkyries to our downtown Oakland headquarters for a special afternoon with our girls. From a hands-on nutritious cooking activity with middle schoolers to an open and inspiring Q&A with middle and high school students, Kate and Kaitlyn shared powerful insights on confidence, resilience, and what it takes to succeed—on and off the court. The visit kicked off with a hands-on nutritious cooking activity alongside our middle school participants, creating space to talk about wellness, balance, and the importance of fueling your body. For many of our girls, it was a unique opportunity to connect healthy habits with performance, whether in sports, school, or everyday life. Following the activity, Kate and Kaitlyn joined our middle and high school students for an open-format conversation and Q&A. They shared candid reflections from their journeys as professional athletes, offering insight into the mindset, discipline, and support systems that have shaped their success. Throughout the conversation, several key themes emerged that resonated deeply with our girls: Practice positive self-talk. The way you speak to yourself matters. Be a great teammate. Support others, even when things aren’t going your way. Asking for help is a strength. Growth doesn’t happen alone. Visualize your goals. See yourself succeeding and work toward it. Learn from your mistakes. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Find what brings you joy. Passion fuels persistence. Take care of your body. What you put in matters. Preparation is key. Confidence comes from putting in the work. Kate emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, even in difficult moments, and showing up as a supportive teammate no matter the circumstances. Kaitlyn spoke about staying grounded, taking care of her body, and trusting the preparation that allows her to perform at her highest level. When girls have the opportunity to engage directly with women leaders—especially in spaces like professional sports—they gain tangible tools, invaluable insights, and a deeper belief in their own potential. We are grateful to the Golden State Valkyries for investing in our girls and helping bring these meaningful experiences to life.
