Girls Inc. of Huntsville is a nonprofit organization that serves girls ages 5 -18 through after-school, fall break, spring break, summer camp and outreach programming.


Our research-based programming is delivered by facilitators who focus on the development of the whole girl, supporting, mentoring, and guiding girls in an affirming, pro-girl environment. Here, girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their inherent strengths, and receive the support they need to navigate the challenges they face.


Girls Inc. girls live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school, and more likely to graduate from post-secondary education; and they display diligence, perseverance and resilience.

96% of Girls Inc. girls feel pregnancy would interfere with their schoolwork.
