Girls Inc Houston
The Girls Inc Houston tagline says it all: Inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold. Their girl-centered curriculum led by trained program facilitators that engage students in topics such as leadership, teamwork, financial literacy and much more. And with 88 cents of every dollar goes to supporting girls’ development, we know a lot is being done to elevate their students. Though their educational efforts are a cornerstone of their mission, their impact stretches far beyond:
- 50% of Girls Inc girls are less likely to abuse prescription drugs, compared to the national average.
- 76% of Girls Inc girls are less likely to abuse alcohol, compared to the national average.
With support from partnerships and educational programs, Girls, Inc Houston strives to develop girls’ capacity to be self-sufficient and responsible members of the community with an overall vision to help all girls realize their potential.
