Girls Inc.

Since 1938, Girls Inc. of Central Alabama (formerly Girls Club Inc. of Birmingham) has provided places and programs where school age girls of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds participate in wholesome activities. We help girls develop to their fullest potential, enrich their relationships with others, and grow to be responsible and productive members of the community.

Girls Inc. helps girls gain new skills, develop self-confidence, and learn to compete in an ever-expanding world. Girls are exposed to our programming through center-based participation and outreach community-based forums provided to schools, clubs, and churches.
