July Spotlight
Girls Inc. of San Antonio
Girls Inc. of San Antonio is all about empowering local girls. They serve Bexar County girls, ages 6 to 18, by offering a wide range of in-school, after-school and extracurricular programs. These research-based programs build girls’ self-esteem, transform their views of themselves, and help them recognize their potential as leaders, friends, innovators and independent thinkers. As a champion for all girls and young women for more than 12 years, they believe that every girl has the potential for success and that every girl has the right to pursue her own ambition, despite the context of her life or the obstacles she faces.
Taught by Trained Facilitators:
The program is delivered by trained facilitators rather than volunteers and focuses on gender equity and key issues as opposed to general youth development. Programs are supported by:
- A full-time staff of six
- A part-time staff of five
- A 25 member Board of Directors
- A 17 member board of advisors called Guardians
