Girls Incorporated of Santa Fe, formerly known as the Girls Club, has been serving girls in
Santa Fe since 1955. Girls Incorporated of Santa Fe is the local affiliate of Girls Incorporated, the national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to providing vital, innovative educational programs to girls, particularly those who are underserved or at risk. Our National Resource Center does research on the needs of girls, develops programs based on this research, and evaluates these programs nationally for effectiveness. The programs are facilitated by paid, professional staff that are trained, enthusiastic, and sensitive to girls’ needs. Girls Inc. inspires girls and supports them as they develop the skills and self-confidence to navigate successfully through the challenges of growing up female.
Girls Inc. encourages girls to actively explore the world around them, find their own voice, and be responsible, confident and independent young women. Girls Inc. recognizes that girls are strong, smart, and bold and equips them with the tools to remain so in the face of societal pressure to conform to ever-evolving gender stereotypes. Girls Inc. respects diversity of ideas and cultures and advocates for girls and young women in the community, and provides opportunities to all girls regardless of culture, race, disability or socioeconomic status. Our quality, affordable daily care for low income working parents meets a critical need in the community. We actively advocate for community services for girls and their families, as well as advocate for and provide education, career and leadership development opportunities to prepare girls for the workforce.

Our Mission
To inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
 Our Goal
Our Goal is to expand and deepen our quality service, while extending our reach to more girls. We know that what we do at Girls Inc. works for girls, therefore our goal is to increase our services from 3.4% to 10% of Santa Fe girls in the next five years. But, we can't do this alone.
