Girls Inc. was founded in 1864 to support girls and young women during the aftermath of the Civil War. In 1954, Girls Inc. became a United Way partner agency, and we have been working together ever since to empower girls in Central Alabama to succeed. Girls Inc.’s research-based programming is designed to teach these girls to live healthily, succeed academically and acquire well-rounded life skills. When you give to United Way, you are standing in these girls’ corners, giving them a safe space to grow and the tools they need to be their strongest, smartest and boldest selves.
