Girls Incorporated® is a nonprofit organization that inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and boldSM. With roots dating to 1864, Girls Inc. has responded to the changing needs of girls and their communities through research-based programs and advocacy that empower girls to reach their full potential and to understand, value, and assert their rights. Girls Inc. public education extends our empowering messages to a broad audience, offering tools for both girls and adults to engage actively with our mission.
Programs focus on science, math, and technology, health and sexuality, economic and financial literacy, sports skills, leadership and advocacy, and media literacy for girls ages 6 to 18 throughout the United States and in Canada. While our goal is to reach all girls, we recognize that girls in at-risk communities have an even greater need for our programs. Of those we serve, 70 percent are girls of color and 65 percent come from families earning $25,000 or less. Nearly half are from single-parent households, most of which are headed by women.
In 2007, Girls Inc. reached more than 900,000 girls through Girls Inc. affiliates, our website, and educational products. Guided by our vision of empowered girls and an equitable society, Girls Inc. is committed to reaching millions more girls through its programs and public education efforts.
Girls Inc. is honored to partner with EILEEN FISHER in an inaugural partnership to launch the Girls Inc. eBay outlet store. Eileen Fisher is a fantastic role model for the hundreds of thousands of girls Girls Inc. serves, and we are proud to have her friendship and commitment to the Girls Inc. mission.
Eileen Fisher is a true exemplar of that mission. Throughout her career she has distinguished herself as one of the top women in her field — a leader whose achievements have been the result of innovation, high standards, and a passionate commitment to developing great clothing and great people as well. Eileen and her company have set a new standard for socially conscious entrepreneurship through a deep respect for the individual, a belief in the power of collaboration and teamwork, and a commitment to the greater good.
We at Girls Inc. cherish Eileen’s friendship and the relationship between our organizations. Together, Girls Inc. and EILEEN FISHER are dedicated to finding new and innovative ways to empower girls to find their voices and achieve emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. We share a vision of a world where girls have the strength, opportunities, and confidence to reach for and build their dreams.
