Girls Inc. programs for girls ages 4½ to 18 years old focus on science, math, and technology; economic and financial literacy; athletics; health and sexuality; culture and heritage; leadership and advocacy; and media literacy. 

Every day, through our Santa Barbara Center, Goleta Valley Center, Gymnastics, Counseling, and Outreach Programs, Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara serves over 1,000 children.
