Welcome | Girls Inc.

I was in danger of not graduating, but my Girls Inc. mentors made time to talk and give me the skills I needed. Thanks to them, I graduated on time and I'm in college. Having women role models who believe in you makes all the difference." - DeLaina, 18

Carolin Discovers Her Passion

From the time she was seven years old, Carolin has been a Girls Inc. girl. She credits Girls Inc. of Lynn as being her family, but it’s also been a place where Carolin has learned how to respect herself, how to embrace the differences in others, and where she learned about the importance of community service. She began volunteering as a Middle School Peer Mentor, and eventually worked her way into a Peer Leader role for Part of the Solution; a Girls Inc. teen council that aims to diminish teenage alcohol and drug abuse. After seeing firsthand the importance of volunteerism, Carolin decided to pair her passion for community with her love of writing.

Today, Carolin is preparing for her first semester at Denison University in Ohio where she will study journalism.
