Girls Inc. in Camden

2022 marks five years of Girls Inc. in Camden, NJ, and we are so excited to continue to provide and expand programming in the area! Throughout the past five years, we have brought our literacy, advocacy, economic literacy, and STEM initiatives to over 800 students in the area.

Our Camden area programming is made possible by the generosity of corporate partners such as Subaru and American Water. We have also broadened our reach in New Jersey with our Partners in Action Advocacy Coalition (NJPAAC), funded by New Jersey's Department of Children and Families, Division on Women. NJPAAC is a community of practice created to develop more girl-led leadership and advocacy initiatives.

TeenCon 2022

Last month we joined Girls Inc. teens from three other affiliates in the Northeast region for a weekend of learning, growing, and fun at TeenCon! Participants and staff alike had the chance to network with their peers, explore a variety of post-secondary options, and much more! TeenCon was one of several college visits our participants attended in-person and virtually this year.

TeenCon was made possible thanks to our sponsors Cox Enterprises and Bimbo Bakeries USA, as well as Western New England University for hosting us.
