Girls - Reaching us and teaching us how to make the world a better place

Over the last two weeks, Girls Inc has provided leadership for three important community programs: Dresses for a Cure (4/17), Take Our Daughters to Work Day (4/23) and the Taking Steps Walk (4/26) to end violence against women and families. The best part of all of these programs is that girls took the opportunities be their best - to lead - to positively impact our community.

On April 17, dozens of girls from across Central MA were able to purchase fabulous prom dresses and fashion accessories for $20 - a fraction of their real cost - and enjoy and/or participate in a fashion show...

Join us for the Take Our Daughters To Work Day afternoon event

Girls Inc is really excited about Take Our Daughters to Work Day this year. We start the day with a great breakfast program at Winthrop House. Senator Harriett Chandler and Pattie Hallberg from Girl Scouts will help welcome everyone - and then I will do a special interview with our inspiring new friend Jane Coken-Ryan from UMass Medical School.

As a special addition, we are inviting working women across the area to honor the girls as they return from their workday with their mentors at a special AFTER-WORK NETWORKING EVENT at Winthrop House! Please consider joining us at Winthrop...

Spring Update!

After a VERY LONG AND COLD winter, spring is coming! All of the signs are here! A couple of days of sunshine and 60 degrees - then back to the 30's and a snow squall... and then pretty soon the trees will turn green again and the flowers will bloom, and we will start to forget the ice storm and the 20 foot mountains of snow that piled up in parking lots and the downed limbs from trees - and enter into the renewal of Spring!

Here at Girls Inc, there is LOTS going on as we get ready for spring and we want to shout out that good news across Central Massachusetts!
