Fall 2009 was a season of new records for Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis. Our outreach model experienced immense growth as we utilized a record number of volunteers to deliver an increased number of programs to more girls than in any previous program cycle. This growth also contributed to our biggest accomplishment yet – serving over 2,500 girls with Girls Inc. programs in 2009!
Take a look at Girls Inc.'s fall programming, by the numbers!
- 56 – the total number of Girls Inc. programs delivered this fall.
- 32 – the total number of partners who offered Girls Inc programs this fall.
