Our girls have been training since summer to run the 5K and 10K SheIs.Beautiful race! In addition to the physical training, they are learning healthy eating, and how to care for their bodies leading up to the race. And, they are learning the importance of supporting each other while trying something new.
Go girl! You've got this! - Jordan, 11

Always believe in yourself! - Angelina, 11
We Still Need She.Is.Beautiful Race Volunteers

Giving girls the power to lead starts with engaging them in activities to become savvy voters, engaged citizens, and potential future candidates. Girls Inc.'s national
She Votes program features activities that give girls the resources they need to discover their own political voices and to be engaged citizens in their communities. She Votes helps to teach girls how to take control of their futures.

ADVOCACY IN ACTION
BLOG: Voting and Civic Engagement Matters to Girls
It’s so important for girls to be civically engaged as early as possible. Through the Girls Inc. She Votes initiative, girls realize the power of their voices, learn about the structure and role of the U.S. government, and are inspired to lead and become future female leaders...
"Building a more equitable society means educating and empowering girls to be actively involved in civics and the political process. While women make up more than half the U.S. population, they are represented by a Congress made up of 80% men. Educating girls and young women about this reality can empower them to change it."
To celebrate Girls Inc.'s 60th Anniversary in Santa Barbara, we have launched the #GirlsHaveTheRight social media campaign. Stop by our centers to pick up your sign and affirm girls' rights with us. Thank you to our girls, staff, and supporters!
