The mission of Girls Inc. of Tarrant County is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. This is translated into programs that encourage health, education, career readiness, and independence. Through advocating for girls and their futures, we reduce barriers in their lives that stem from violence, poverty, and inequity that they encounter at home, at school, in relationships, online, or in their community. Our unique combination of life-changing mentoring relationships, a pro-girl culture, and research-based programming equip girls to be healthy, educated, and empowered.Our impact is enhanced by our strong partnerships in the community. We work with school districts, libraries, and other non-profit organization across Tarrant County to serve the needs of all girls in our community. These partnerships vary based on the needs of our partners and the girls participating. We support programs and actively participate in collaborations that celebrate the empowerment of girls, strength of mentoring, and importance of equity and diversity. Additionally, we find strength in our partnerships with local companies and colleges/universities. With their support, Girls Inc. girls find meaningful mentors in their communities, develop key skills that support the regional workforce, and are exposed to a variety of career paths.
