At Girls Inc. of Orange County, we empower girls to thrive academically and personally through engaging, school-based programs designed to support their success.

Girls Inc. of Orange County works with local Orange County school districts, charter schools, and private academies to provide in-school programming. Through these partnerships, we deliver research-based curricula that empowers girls to reach their full potential. We focus on the development of the whole girl. She learns to value herself, take risks, and discover and develop her inherent strengths. The combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment, and research-based programming equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent.

• Mental Health
