& Bold. Learn more about who we are, and how we support girls. Learn More OUR STORY Girls Inc. of Alameda County is building a new generation of strong, smart, and bold leaders. WHO WE ARE We are a nonprofit organization serving Oakland and the East Bay, committed to girls as a pathway to transformational change for entire communities. Who We Are WHAT WE DO We provide a continuum of academic, leadership and wellness programs for girls from transitional kindergarten through early career to help them overcome barriers and reach their full potential. What We Do OUR IMPACT In the 2023 –2024 School Year... We served 1,747 youth from transitional kindergarten through early career, including our Alumnae as they navigate college and career, and our Apprentices in the Expanded Learning Apprenticeship. 3x Our students were 3x more likely to be reading at grade level than their peers not in our programs, and 6x more likely if they were English Language Learners (ELL). 94% of our 6th – 8th graders think it is important to put in their best effort while working on their goals. 100% of seniors in our College Access Now (CAN) program graduated high school and were admitted to post-secondary institutions for the 10th consecutive year. View Impact Reports WHO WE SERVE Based in Oakland, CA, Girls Inc. of Alameda County responds to the unique needs of girls and their allies in the East Bay with less access to educational, social, and financial resources. NOTE:* 10% Asian (Chinese, Filipinx, Vietnamese & other Asia), 2% Caucasian, 1% Middle Eastern, 1% Guamanian or Chamorro. All other ethnicities were below 0.5%. Participants come from households with less access to certain education, social and financial resources 43% Speak a language other than English at home THE NEED Only 20% - 25% of elementary students in Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) Title I* schools met state standards for reading. 40% or more students in OUSD’s Title I schools are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year), significantly impacting their ability to succeed academically. According to the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 3 in 5 teen girls reported feeling consistently sad or hopeless for at least 2 consecutive weeks last year. *A Title I school is a school that receives federal funding under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to support students from lower financial resources. The goal of Title I funding is to help ensure that all children, regardless of economic background, have access to a high-quality education and meet state academic standards. My favorite part of after school this year is that we got a lot of fun activities and the friends I made. 5TH GRADE PARTICIPANT Stand with girls and their allies.

Danielle West Analytics Consultant, Kaiser Permanente Danielle joined Girls Inc. of Alameda County as a shy seventh grader who questioned her leadership potential. But Girls Inc. quickly became the environment where her voice, confidence, and academic ambitions began to take form. Through STEM workshops, public health projects, and leadership development, she discovered her passion for community health. “At Girls Inc., I learned that my ideas mattered. I went from silent in the back of the room to leading citywide youth commissions,” she says. Danielle graduated UC Berkeley with honors, was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and now works as an Analytics Consultant at Kaiser Permanente. She is currently preparing to attend Law School to specialize in healthcare policy. Tayo Ogunmayin Civil Engineer, WMH Corporation Tayo came to Girls Inc. of Alameda County in middle school feeling isolated, disengaged, and unsure of herself. But through Girls Inc.’s hands-on STEM programming and nurturing community, she began to see new possibilities. A pivotal moment came during a field trip to an urban planning firm, where she learned people actually design the bridges and roads she used on a daily basis. “That day changed everything,” she says. “For the first time, I saw a future I wanted—and believed I could have. ” With one-on-one college guidance, she became the first in her family to attend college, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering from UC Davis and a master’s in transportation policy. Today, Tayo works as a Civil Engineer in the Bay Area, helping build the infrastructure of tomorrow. “Girls Inc. didn’t just support me, ” she says. “They showed me who I could become—and then helped me become her. ” Tehray McCullough Analyst, BlackRock Asset Management Tehray’s journey with Girls Inc. of Alameda County began amid family instability and immense personal struggle. Facing parental incarceration and moments of homelessness, she often felt alone—until she found Girls Inc. “They were my safe haven, ” she says. “They helped me see that my circumstances didn’t have to define me. ” With Girls Inc.’s help, she returned to school, navigated the legal system for her own protection, and applied for college. She discovered a passion for finance through a Girls Inc. partnership with BlackRock and went on to study Economics at UC Merced. She currently works as an Analyst at BlackRock Asset Management—the very company that first opened her eyes to her career path. “Girls Inc. gave me the tools, the mentors, and the belief that I could build a different life, ” she says. “Now, I want to be the kind of leader who gives back the way they gave to me. ” SUCCESS STORIES Previous Impact Reports Previous Impact Reports Previous Impact Reports Previous Impact Reports 2022 - 2023 View & Download 2021 - 2022 View & Download 2020 - 2021 View & Download 2019 - 2020 View & Download Learn more about: Women of Impact Ways to Invest

The Expanded Learning Program Leader Apprenticeship was created in response to the California Department of Education’s effort to establish a paid training model that supports professional growth and financial stability for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. These programs are a critical support system for youth from under-resourced communities and their families, who have been disproportionately impacted by the effects of the pandemic, in addition to long-standing systemic inequities. *The California Department of Education (CDE) defines Expanded Learning as follows: “Before and afterschool, summer, and intersession learning experiences that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students. Expanded Learning opportunities should be hands-on, engaging, student-centered, results-driven, involve community partners, and complement learning activities in the regular school day/year."

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.
