Our Girls

With the world in their hands

Girls Inc. of Southwestern CT (Girls Inc. of SWCT) is dedicated to actions that assure a better, more rewarding future for girls by reversing the negative statistics and uncertainty that affect the girls of today. We initiate and execute focused programming that enables girls to reach their full potential as contributors and achieve their economic and social goals. We give them tools to overcome many barriers that exist in our society, and thus we not only empower individual girls but transform entire families and communities. At Girls Inc. of SWCT every girl counts.

We at Girls Inc. of SWCT fully understand that much of the future of the world rests in the hands of girls. The communities that we cover in Southwestern Connecticut are very diverse, and many of the girls we serve come from families at or just above the poverty level. We depend greatly on the generosity and support of public and private donors, corporations and our community to assist us in achieving our goals. Remember, by inspiring and mobilizing support for girls' empowerment and well-being we ensure economic equality and social progress.



What Our Mothers Are Saying

What Our Mothers Are Saying


At Girls Inc. of SWCT, they really encourage the girls to be strong, smart, and bold. It's not just a mission statement. Single parents have to balance work and children and homework. We want the best for our daughters, but sometimes it's a struggle to be there. Girls Inc. of SWCT fills that void.

I have just become aware of Girls Inc. of SWCT and so far I think it is GREAT!! As a mom there are so many things I worry about and wonder how to teach my oldest... but your programs seem to address many of the issues facing moms and young girls.

My daughters were able to attend Girls Inc. of SWCT's after school program and participate in dancing and gymnastics classes. I was very impressed with the help they received from their program counselors and their grades improved. Your program is an incredible program for the city of Waterbury.
