Celebrating Girlhood with Girls Inc.
Common Sense media’s review of the organization cites that the overall message that Girls Inc. is carrying over is “refreshing and empowering.” With the goals of the org, girls will learn to appreciate the value of their growing years as an essential stepping stone for their future careers.
Girls Inc’s entry to the pool of non-profit organizations brings us back to the year 1864. However, it was only in the year 1945 when it gained national recognition. According to their site, the organization primarily “responds to the changing needs of girls and their communities.” The response comes in the form of advocacies and programs that are grounded on research backed data.
Apart from encouraging the girls to realize that they do have potentials waiting to be developed, they are also taught to assert their rights so that their voices could be heard. As this method progresses through time, we can certainly expect a nation of thinkers and leaders who are not held down by issues on gender.
Through Girls Inc’s sponsorship of the education of national scholars, girls who are part of the organization will have access to employment opportunities to fit their skills and talent. Hopefully, this will make them more productive and satisfied with their achievements in life.
