Girls Inc. of NYC

Girls Inc. of NYC members from the Urban Assembly Institute answered the President's call to service by volunteering at Rooftop Farms in Brooklyn, NY. The girls helped clean, plant and compost, and learned that they can help the environment by growing and eating local produce…even in New York City.

At its very heart, Girls Inc. of NYC is about offering girls the opportunity to discover their intellectual and emotional strengths. We celebrate and empower girls!

Since 1993, our programs have successfully helped urban girls grow into urbane girls who discover how limitless their opportunities are—and then go after those opportunities.

What we do

Challenge girls to discover and fulfill their potential
Foster gender equity in a positive way
Show girls that they can access all worlds, from the science lab to the boardroom
Inspire girls to take pride in success
Take a community-minded approach that inspires girls to "give back," locally and globally
