Girls Inc. Bill of Rights

Girls have the right to:
Be themselves and resist gender stereotypes
Express themselves with originality and enthusiasm.
Take risks, to strive freely, and to take pride in success.
Accept and appreciate their bodies.
Have confidence in themselves and to be safe in the world.
Prepare for interesting work and economic independence.

Girls Inc. of Jefferson County Indiana offers a wide variety of programs based on six categories.

Careers and Life Planning: to enable girls to pursue careers that will provide them with the economic autonomy to integrate a rewarding career into their lives as women and family members.

Health and Sexuality: to enable girls to take charge of developing and maintaining fit, healthy bodies and to function comfortably as responsible sexual beings.

Leadership and Community: to enable girls to exercise personal and collective power effectively and responsibly; and to enable them to analyze and contribute to positive change in the community, nation, and world.

Sports and Adventure: to enable girls to compete and cooperate with confidence and to master a range of physical skills.

Self-reliance and Life Skills: to enable girls to conquer life's basic challenges in areas both traditional and non-traditional for women and to prepare them to function independently and interdependently today and in the future.

Culture and heritage: to enable girls to appreciate their own and each other's heritage; to enjoy diverse forms of creative expression; and to recognize the contributions of women to history and culture.

Strong bonds are built as the girls participate in our varied programs.
