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.
