Testimonials
Virginia Akar, CEO Girls Inc. of Greater Miami
“I spent more than a year researching girl-serving organizations around the country with the goal of bringing one to Miami, the city I grew up in, and a city that my research confirmed needed an organization where girls could safely, confidently, and joyfully discover their inner strengths while also learning to lean on each other instead of competing with one another. When I found Girls Inc., I had my answer. Girls Inc. had a track record of impact, and a deep understanding of the varying needs of girls. Their model demanded excellence, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. In 2017, we launched Strong Girls Inc., always with the goal of becoming a Girls Inc. Affiliate. Three years later, Strong Girls Inc. proudly became Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, the first Girls Inc. Affiliate in South Florida.”
Aleya Crable Jennings, Chair of Girls Inc. of Greater Pittsburgh Board of Directors

Network and expand our girl-serving work in Greater Pittsburgh and Boston, with this partnership, we are deepening Strong Women Strong Girls’ mission of serving girls through our innovative mentorship model while increasing our advocacy and commitment to our elementary school program participants, college women, professional mentors, and the local community. This exciting moment for our organization strengthens our work and equips us to serve more girls to reach their full potential, starting with girls as young as age 5. We are looking forward to a bright future together with Girls Inc.”
