Dear Friends,
It’s been a bit since I've had the opportunity to share all the wonderful happenings here at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria! We’ve had a busy few months, and I’m excited to catch you up on our recent activities and achievements.
Inaugural Fuel Her Fire Event
In April, we hosted our inaugural Fuel Her Fire event, which was an incredible success. The energy and enthusiasm from our community were truly inspiring. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us make this event unforgettable.
Celebrating 160 Years of Girls Inc.
In May, we proudly celebrated 160 years of Girls Inc. programming across the nation. This milestone reminds us of the enduring impact of our mission to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. We reflected on the remarkable achievements of our girls and the difference we make together. Thank you again to our local partners who generously contributed a portion of their proceeds during Girls Inc. Week and to all of you who donated towards the Girls Inc. Together collaborative fundraiser! Your enthusiasm and support has helped us lift up the voices of our girls and provide them with the necessary resources to prepare for the future they envision.
Pride Month: Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion
June is Pride Month, and we are proud to stand as an ally organization, committed to supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. At Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where every girl feels seen, heard, and valued. Read more about our commitment below.
What’s Next?
As we move into June, we have a lot more in store. We’re kicking off our summer camps, Eureka! program, and athletic enrichment opportunities. These programs are designed to keep our girls engaged, learning, and growing throughout the summer. Think of it as summer vacation with a turbo boost!
Additionally, we’re excited about the campus renovations happening, including a full kitchen remodel (because who doesn't love a good before-and-after?), a multi-purpose room remodel, and new fencing to enhance the safety and security of our facility. We promise the construction noises are just the sounds of progress!
Thank you for being part of the Girls Inc. of Carpinteria family. Together, we are creating a new generation of leaders!
Warm regards,
Jamie Collins
Executive Director
