Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area

Girls Incorporated is a national research, education, and direct advocacy organization that inspires girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Programs based on research gathered at the Girls Inc. National Resource Center encourage girls ages 6 to 18 to take risks and master physical, intellectual, and emotional challenges.

Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area is a provisional affiliate of the national organization and a division of the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center believes that when girls are fully empowered and live in a girl-friendly culture, they will be less likely to become victims of domestic violence.

Over the next year we will be introducing Girls Inc. programming that will benefit the following communities: Newburyport, Amesbury, Salisbury, Ipswich, Rowley, Georgetown, Groveland, Merrimac, Newbury and West Newbury.
