Programs

Trained staff and volunteers build lasting, mentoring relationships in girls-only spaces that are physically and emotionally safe. Here, girls find a sisterhood of support with shared drive, mutual respect, and high expectations. Hands-on, research-based programs provide girls with the skills and knowledge to set goals, overcome obstacles, and improve academic performance.

At Girls Incorporated of Columbus & Phenix-Russell, our mission is to empower girls to be STRONG, SMART, and BOLD.

We provide high-quality after-school mentorship for girls ages 6–18.
