One of the wisest things society can do is empower today's girls. After all, girls and women make up 51% of the population! It is important for the women of tomorrow to be responsible, motivated adults who will inspire future generations to succeed. Since 1954, Girls Incorporated of Orange County has utilized research-based programs to transform the lives of thousands of girls by giving them the skills to become confident, successful, and independent women. By offering age-appropriate, research-based programs, Girls Incorporated of Orange County helps girls deal effectively with a variety of issues that they face in today's world. These programs give girls the confidence to do things previous generations of women have only dreamed of or not known were possible: pursuing careers in science, math, or technology; avoiding the traps of teen pregnancy, drugs, and violence; staying healthy in body and mind; and asserting their point of view with confidence. We are the people and the place that help girls succeed!
