Strong, educated girls

Strong, educated girls

From the Girls’ Bill of Rights

 

  • Girls have the right to be themselves and to resist gender stereotypes.
  • Girls have the right to take risks, to strive freely, and to take pride in success.
  • Girls have the right to accept and appreciate their bodies.
  • Girls have the right to have confidence in themselves and to be safe in the world.

The mission of Girls Incorporated of the Albemarle is to inspire northeast North Carolina girls aged 5–15 to be strong, educated and reach their full potential. Its after-school enrichment program in Elizabeth City, which begins Monday, Aug. 25, incorporates research-based programs that focus on girls’ needs today.

Girls enjoy outdoor sports and activities, are assisted with homework, make arts and crafts, sew and participate in a Girls Inc. identity program. Girls also take field trips to Port Discover, Museum of the Albemarle and hear guest speakers. Staff begins taking applications in early August.
