About Girls Inc. at YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee

Using hands-on, research-based programming, Girls Inc. empowers girls to succeed. Trained staff and volunteers build lasting, mentoring relationships in girls-only spaces that are physically and emotionally safe – where girls find a sisterhood of support with shared drive and mutual respect.

The skills and knowledge students learn in Girls Inc. equips them to to set goals, overcome obstacles, and improve academic performance. Girls learn about a variety of topics that directly impact their lives and futures, including:

• how to lead healthy and physically active lives
• money management and financial literacy
• navigate media messages and the portrayal of women’s bodies
• discover an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math
• prepare for college and professional scenarios

YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee proudly offers Girls Inc. at twelve Metro Nashville Public Schools. To date, more than 4,000 girls have been impacted with life-changing experiences and personal mentorship since we became the Girls Inc. affiliate in Middle Tennessee in 2008.

We do not discriminate or exclude girls from our programming based on their gender identity or gender expression.
