Girls Inc. of Jefferson County, Indiana offers these nationally developed programs targeting a variety of areas in a girl's life.

Operation SMART^SM; Science, math, and relevant technology provide girls with experiences and introduces them to careers in these areas. Girls Inc. recognizes that girls are often steered away from technology. The end result is that, too often, they grow up to find themselves blocked from the fastest-growing and important economic sectors of the future. Girls Incorporated is dedicated to providing these opportunities for girls.

Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy^SM; An abstinence-based approach to the problem of teen pregnancy. We offer both GROWING TOGETHER and WILL POWER/WON'T POWER as part of this comprehensive program. They are designed to help girls and parents communicate about issues pertaining to sexuality.

Steppingstones^SM; A motor skills development program for girls 6 - 8. This class is designed to promote skillful body movement and health-related fitness among our youngest members.

She's On the Money^SM; An Economic Literacy Program for girls. It gives girls the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to achieve financial independence and take charge of their lives.

Action for Safety^SM; A 12-hour self-defense and violence prevention course for girls age 9 - 11. This program prepares girls to avoid being victims of violence.

Kid-Ability! A child sexual abuse prevention program for children age 5 - 13.

Girls Dig It^SM; An archaeology program for girls ages 12 - 14. Introduces girls to the dynamic world of archaeology and allows them to experience the analytical and interpretive skills used in this discipline.
