📰 The April Review: Building Bold Foundations

Even as the school year begins to wind down, the impact at Girls Inc. of Greater Atlanta is hitting its peak. This May, we are proud to look back at an April defined by unprecedented access and corporate alignment. Our youth stepped into the rooms where the future is being built—from exploring artificial intelligence and college readiness at Kennesaw State University to stepping into front-office careers with the Atlanta Dream ahead of FIFA 26. Whether mastering the logic of a Rubik’s Cube or walking in solidarity at our Autism Awareness Walk, our girls proved that their ambition knows no bounds. Dive into our latest monthly impact report to see how we are setting the stage for a bold summer ahead.

 Logic, Luck, and Leadership: Our April Youth Recap

 Can you solve a Rubik’s Cube in 30 seconds? Our Marietta middle schoolers can! Check out our latest blog post to see how our girls are mastering complex problem-solving and how a special surprise from Cox is helping our KIPP WAYS students lead with confidence.

 Front Office to Front Page: Packing the Stands with Future Sports Executives

With FIFA 26 on the horizon, our Future Careers Academy took over the field—and the front office. Partnering with Coca-Cola, the Atlanta Dream, and the Atlanta Hawks, our youth spent April designing team logos, anchoring mock sports broadcasts, and learning from top women executives in the industry. See how we are building the next generation of sports business leaders.

AI at KSU & Tooth Decay Labs: Our April STEAM Update

From the engineering labs of Kennesaw State University to a hands-on "Eggs-periment" with Links Atlanta, our girls dominated the world of STEAM this April. See how our high schoolers learned about cybersecurity and college scholarships from national leaders, and discover how our younger students explored everything from pediatric dentistry to Dental Archaeology.

Walking for Inclusion: Our Autism Awareness Recap

"No one walks alone." On April 4, our community gathered at Columbia High School for a day of solidarity and storytelling. From field day fun to powerful insights shared by local mothers, see how we celebrated Autism Acceptance Month by building a more inclusive Atlanta.
