Girls Inc inspires girls from the ages of 8-18 to be strong, smart, successful and bold. There mission is to help create a new sense of foundation for young girls who are bombarded with images in the media that alter a young women's sense of what is pretty and what is considered to be expected from them from the media's point of view. On the about me section here is what I found, "Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and boldSM through life-changing programs and experiences that help girls navigate gender, economic, and social barriers. Research-based curricula, delivered by trained, mentoring professionals in a positive all-girl environment equip girls to achieve academically; lead healthy and physically active lives; manage money; navigate media messages; and discover an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. The network of local Girls Inc. nonprofit organizations serves 125,000 girls ages 6 - 18 annually across the United States and Canada."
