Our Story
We’re building a new generation of strong, smart, and bold leaders across San Diego County!
What We Do
We equip girls to reach their full potential while advocating with and for them to end inequity and discrimination.
This is a critical moment for our society. The importance of naming and overcoming gender inequity is front-and-center as one of the most critical issues of our time. Girls today face vast and often intersecting challenges and barriers to academic and career success, such as inequalities associated with race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, and socio-economic status.
Who We Are
We're the longest-running girls’ leadership program, evolving with girls to meet the challenges and opportunities of the day.
For over 50 years, Girls Inc. of San Diego County (GISD) has taken a holistic approach to whole-girl health and wellness by providing life-changing, no-cost, research-based programming. GISD’s three pillars of work along with a combination of skill development in a pro-girl environment equips girls to reimagine their futures; believe in themselves; pursue higher education and take their seat as tomorrows decision makers.
