In Her Corner: July 2021 News

WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE CENTER?

With the help of Taylor Burke, our intern from UCSB, our 5th and 6th Graders got a chance to practice their interview skills in the Media Literacy and Production class.

Our youth practiced their financial literacy by creating and selling their own goods, and buying from others at their own popup marketplace at our Goleta Valley Center.

The Teen Center Refresh Campaign raised $6,732 and we cannot wait to get started on the project. The work will be completed in the weeks between sessions so our teens return to a new kitchen. Thank you to all those who supported our campaign.

We celebrated Powerful Leaders Week at our Center by modeling leadership skills and lending a voice to causes they care about. These strong, smart, and bold youth are ready to step up as the next generation of leaders for our planet and its people.

NEW PHONE SYSTEM

To better serve you, we are upgrading our phone system! We have switched to one phone number for our organization: 805-963-4757. Our main line will now offer menu options in Spanish.

Follow the menu prompts to reach the Gym (press 1), the Goleta Valley Center (press 2), the Teen Center (press 3), and Administration (press 4).

Previous phone numbers for our various program sites are no longer in service. Please update your Girls Inc. contact information to reflect our new main phone number. Thank you for helping us make this smooth transition.
