That’s the mission of Girls, Inc., and I was so impressed by this organization when I recently conducted a college application essay workshop at the Alameda County chapter in Oakland, California.
Holistic Education
In addition to academic support and leadership development for its scholars, Girls Inc. also provides education about healthy living. Programs range from nutrition and cooking (which the girls can practice in the Girls Inc. kitchen) to fitness (they can work out and take yoga classes in the GI gym) to mindfulness (they can take advantage of mental health services provided right in the GI building or relax in a quiet space).
The students of the Class of 2019, most of whom will be the first in their families to attend college, are headed for undergraduate studies at the University of California (Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside), Sacramento State, USC, San Francisco State, Yale, Fresno State, Scripps, Washington State, Jackson State, University of Arizona, Merritt College, Stanford, and more.
Congratulations to the Class of 2019 and Girls Inc.!
