Strong, Smart, and Bold: Why We Support Girls Inc.

At Change Happens Foundation, we don’t just believe in the next generation — we invest in it. And few organizations embody that belief more powerfully than Girls Inc.

For over 150 years, Girls Inc. has been a force for equity and empowerment, inspiring girls to grow up strong, smart, and bold. Across the country — and especially in communities too often overlooked — Girls Inc. provides the mentorship, resources, and safe spaces girls need to thrive.

Whether they’re learning to code, preparing for college, standing up to injustice, or navigating the complexity of adolescence with strength and confidence, Girls Inc. participants are not being saved. They are being equipped. And they are leading.

What sets Girls Inc. apart is its whole-girl approach — recognizing that a girl’s success isn’t just about academics, but also about self-worth, mental health, physical safety, and civic voice. Through comprehensive, research-backed programming, girls are given the tools to make informed decisions, to advocate for themselves and others, and to imagine bold futures that reflect their full potential.

This is equity in action.

Our support of Girls Inc. reflects a deep belief in what happens when girls are not only included, but centered — when they are trusted as problem-solvers, as innovators, as leaders. At a time when many girls face increasing social pressure and structural barriers, Girls Inc. remains a beacon of possibility and purpose.

We are proud to stand with them — not just for what they do, but for what they unlock. A single girl empowered by Girls Inc. can ripple out into families, schools, communities, and beyond.

That’s not just change. That’s transformation.

To every girl walking through the doors of Girls Inc., and to every mentor lighting the way: We see you. We believe in you. And we’re honored to walk beside you.

Because when girls rise, we all rise.
