Through education and advocacy, we prepare students to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers to advance to a more equitable world. Each year, GINYC serves up to 10,000 young people at 150+ school and community-based partner sites, with a focus on engaging girls from communities of color and underserved neighborhoods. Our research-based curricula support the development of the “whole girl,” with life-transforming programs spanning the topics of mental and physical health, STEM, college readiness and retention, leadership, financial literacy, and more.
