Summer Programming 2025

As summer ends and we return to school, we want to highlight our work.

To start, we kicked off summer with a field trip to Mattel HQ for a day of play in celebration of Mattel's 80th anniversary. A total of 77 elementary school girls participated in the annual Play It Forward Camp Mattel event.

We partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles for the second year and added the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica this year, offering six-week programming at four club sites. We worked with 381 youth ages 5-18, hosting a variety of summer-themed activities such as dance classes, softball clinics, surf camp, water relays and crafts.

In July, we hosted five field trips for thirty-two girls from two middle schools and four high schools, exposing them to career pathways and professionals.

Through our partnerships, we served over 400 students and provided 120 hours of support to youth in South and West Los Angeles.

Making Our Way

Back to School

This fall, we'll be at twelve Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) partner schools.

We're thrilled to welcome Venice High School as a partner this school year, where we will pilot our program to reach girls ages 15-18.

Throughout August, our team has been focused on student recruitment and hosting recess club activities to get everyone excited about joining our after-school program. Learn more about our programs at girlsincla.org/programs.
