September/2015

As summer comes to an end, we look back with joy on a summer that was one for the record books! We are proud to share that we served more girls this summer than ever before. 214 girls attended the Crestwood Summer Program, 65 girls attended the Walker County Summer Program, and 46 girls attended the Eureka! math and science camp. We now look forward to all of our school-year programs, including the Crestwood After School Program and the Teen Leadership Program. We are also excited to kick-off a new volunteer program and we hope you will consider spending some volunteer time with us! We are absolutely thrilled about all that is planned this school year, and can't wait to share it all with you here and on social media! Keep up with the latest from Girls Inc. of Central Alabama by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
