Mission

The mission of Girls Inc. of Greater Atlanta is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Our comprehensive approach to whole girl development equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers and grow up healthy, educated, and independent. Informed by girls and their families, we also advocate for legislation and policies to increase opportunities for all girls and address the systemic barriers that impede girls’ success.

She is a role model and mentor to girls, promotes their well‑being, development, confidence, and success, and motivates and inspires girls to be active participants in program activities. She promotes long‑term participation in Girls Inc. and provides evaluation and feedback to ensure program relevance for girls.
