Girls Inc. National Identity Programs offered this Fall:
Project BoldSM Girls build skills and personal power for avoiding or dealing with hurtful or dangerous situations. Caring staff assist them in identifying and acknowledging people and resources that contribute to their safety. Parents have a key role in supporting girls throughout the program.
Girls Inc. Media Literacy® Girls increase their awareness of the scope and power of the media and the effects of media messages on girls and women. They learn to analyze critically what they see and hear in the media, advocate for change in entertainment, news, and advertising media, and create images that are more realistic and reflective of their lives.
