What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
After School Program
Girls Inc. of Metropolitan Dallas offers exciting afterschool programs for girls in 1st-6th grades to inspire them to be strong, smart, and bold! In our all-girl, pro-girl environment, girls receive academic support, engage in hands-on, minds-on activities around topics such as STEM, social-emotional learning (SEL), health and well-being, leadership, and more. Girls who participate in our after school program gain valuable skills, build community, and learn to lead!
Eureka! STEM Program
Eureka! is an intensive, five-year STEM-based program that builds Dallas girls’ confidence and skills through hands-on opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math. Utilizing a “whole girl” approach, the program also includes sports and physical fitness, personal development, and college and career readiness. In addition to the summer component, during the school year there are monthly events, activities and field trips.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to provide girls with life-changing experiences and real solutions to the unique issues they face, including social, economic and gender barriers.
Our vision is that girls graduate from high school equipped for success with competencies in personal effectiveness, academics, and college & career planning to become healthy, educated, and financially independent adults.
Our programs provide solution to many complex and pressing needs of girls, including: breaking the cycle of poverty; improving reading and math literacy in the early grades; supporting health, nutrition and fitness for girls of all ages; preventing teenage pregnancy for middle and high school girls; and, promoting education and training for the future workforce.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategy is to support the personal, emotional, academic and physical development of the 'whole girl' and provide 21st century skills that prepare her - beginning in the 1st grade - to graduate from high school, college and career ready. We shape our programs to be innovative and relevant to help level the playing field for our girls, and we partner with organizations whose goals align with ours, like United Way, local ISDs and other youth serving agencies.
We maintain sensitivity to how much poverty and financial stress can hinder cognitive development and ability to learn and can contribute to behavioral, social and emotional problems and poor health. In spite of the challenges and obstacles that our girls face, we want them to continue to believe that they can succeed in school and career.
Specific strategies include:
(a) access to and sustained participation in programming;
(b) quality programming and staffing; and
(c) strong partnerships between the program and the other places where girls are
learning
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
As an affiliate of Girls Incorporated, we are part of a national network of youth-serving organizations that deliver innovative and proven research-based programs.
Girls Inc. Dallas has nearly 50 years of working with girls. Our Chief Philanthropy Officer and Development team work seamlessly with our Director of Programs to ensure all aspects of programming is managed properly. Our Accounting department provides financial reporting, and our Director of Programs manages outcomes.
The entire process is overseen by our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors whose experience spans professional industries ranging from Human Resources, Legal, Finance, Diversity, Compliance, Communications, Volunteerism, Real Estate, Technology, Strategy and Operations, and Marketing.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The most significant accomplishment achieved so far is the number of girls (1200) we have been able to impact annually through our programming.
Girls Inc. Dallas is also proud of the breadth and depth of its community partnerships, all of which share the goal of connecting girls with the best possible people, programs and resources to improve their lives and their futures. Our diverse partners include corporations; small businesses; local public, charter, and private schools; Dallas area colleges and universities; civic groups and service organizations; faith based organizations; basic needs agencies that offer shelter, food, clothing and healthcare; arts and cultural organizations; and other youth serving organizations. Our partners provide access to a variety of assistance and a multitude of experiences that our girls would not, otherwise, ever be able to access.
