Why Support Girls?
1. In San Diego County, women ages 18 to 34 are the largest demographic living in poverty.[1] Girls Inc. of San Diego County provides essential support that helps keep girls on track to graduate high school and pursue college. Girls who graduate from high school will earn $10,000 more in salary than their counterparts who don’t. Graduating from college translates to an additional $10,000 in salary earnings
2. Within the next four years, more than 1.4 million computer science jobs will become available. College graduates are expected to fill 29% of those, while women are expected to fill only 3% of those jobs. Yet, 37% of girls between the ages of 13 to 17 express interest in computer science.
3. According to national statistics from the Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor, Hispanic women have the lowest participation in the workforce than any other ethnicity. Girls Inc. of San Diego helps girls of color identify avenues to college and the work force by providing support for the college application and financial aid process, as well as job readiness and financial literacy training.
