Community - Girls Inc

Girls Incorporated is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. With roots dating to 1864, Girls Inc has provided vital educational programs to millions of American girls, particularly those in high-risk, underserved areas. Today, innovative programs help girls confront subtle societal messages about their value and potential, and prepare them to lead successful, independent, and fulfilling lives.

Jennell Sorrell, Program Director is featured with mentors from the PVWRC and children who participated in this program.  The program grant to cover free running shoes and t-shirts was written by Go FIT Foundation Founder, Susan Jaye-Kaplan.
