Eureka! builds a helping hand
This year, the 10th grade Eureka! participants explored biomedical sciences through a variety of workshops and labs to better understand the field. The Avantor Foundation awarded Girls Inc. a very generous grant to fully fund the 10th grade Eureka! cohort. Eurekans learned how to identify and create a 3D model of the bones in their hands, as well as create functional hand prosthetics to be donated to those in need!
Eureka! is Girls Inc.'s intensive, five-year program for rising 8th grade girls that builds confidence and skills through hands-on opportunities and mentorship in STEM, post-secondary readiness, and mental health. Learn more about Eureka! here.

Ambassador Club Community Action Project
Every year, high school participants in Girls Inc's Ambassador Club lead a community action project to tackle an issue they are passionate about. This year they are addressing school-related stressors, including the fear of gun violence and the financial burden of purchasing school supplies. The Ambassadors received thousands of items in donations to help them pack clear school bags full of academic and mental health supplies for distribution to local schools and organizations!
