We love our board members!

Girls at our Northside Branch Library program were excited to meet one of Girls Inc. of Tarrant County’s Board members, Courtney. She spoke to the girls about her career in human resources and emphasized the importance of obtaining a college degree.  Courtney explained that getting her Master’s degree has helped her advance in the company. 

Courtney also spoke to the girls about entrepreneurship.  She shared her story of her new business venture and told the girls about her company and the products she sells.  The girls were intrigued by her stories about her business, work, and college.  

The girls had the opportunity to tell her about their projects through Girls Inc. including Corporate Camp, E3, and Girls InCharge. Courtney was excited to hear about these wonderful programs and told the girls she would like to observe when the Girls InCharge girls facilitate their program with the middle school girls next spring.  

We had a great time with Courtney last week.  Thank you for all you do for our agency!  We are grateful!

After school at Nash Elementary

This spring, the girls at Charles E Nash Elementary School have been participating in our Friendly Peer and Girls Beyond Bullying Programs. 

The girls have enjoyed activities such as creating anti-bullying posters to hang around the school, making friendship bracelets and practicing refusal skills. The girls looked forward to group each week as we were always greeted with smiles and excitement. 

Here is what some of them have said they learned…

"I am beautiful no matter what anyone says.”

“I am strong, smart and brave.”

“Always be confident.”

It has been a great semester and we look forward to next school year! 

Thank you Nash Elementary and Fort Worth After School! Have a wonderful summer.

Go Rangers!

Girls Inc. girls from Berry Elementary School and Eastern Hills High School attended the Texas Ranger baseball game at the Ballpark in Arlington on Monday May 20.  The girls arrived at the ballpark in their festive Texas Ranger t-shirts ready to cheer on their team.  The girls screamed for their favorite players and danced along to the songs played between innings.

For most of the girls, this was their first time at a Ranger game. This special trip was possible due to the generosity of the Texas Rangers Women's Club. Many thanks to Mona, Ginger and their team for making this possible for our girls. 

Go Rangers!
