WHAT GIRLS WILL LEARN

At Girls Inc. of Metro Denver, we know that our future leaders will be a generation of women leaders- and women leaders start as girls. Beginning the summer after kindergarten, our programs for elementary schoolers encourage girls to explore, build a positive self-image, and develop their voice. Programs include age-appropriate financial literacy programs, nutrition and healthy living, early STEM programming, a robust mentoring program, and much more. Thoughtful programs, delivered in a pro-girl environment, that is physically socially, and emotionally safe, provide girls with the tools they need to succeed today and in the future.
