For Parents

At Girls Inc., we believe that all girls are inherently strong, smart, and bold, but need help overcoming society’s messages and pressures that make them doubt their self worth. Girls gain confidence when they are encouraged to set achievable goals, explore their worlds, and dream beyond their realities. Girls feel most empowered when they trust the adults in their lives to lead them to discover that their potential is limitless and reinforce that their accomplishments will always be celebrated.

As parents, caregivers, and trusted adults in girls’ lives, you play an essential role in shaping their futures. Girls Inc. wants to be a trusted partner in this critical work. Explore resources that will help you inspire the daughters in your life to value themselves for exactly who they are: strong, smart, and bold girls.
