Girls Inc. LA + Vice President Kamala Harris


Our Girls Inc. LA middle school girls received a special invitation to meet Vice President Kamala Harris upon her arrival at the Los Angeles Airport during her recent visit.


It was a remarkable day that underscored the importance of representation, and we were thrilled to see and be inspired by our first female Vice President.


Your support allows us to inspire and empower girls to dream big! Consider giving a gift to join us in building a new generation of leaders.

PROGRAMMING

A Knockout Day with Mija Fitness


Our girls at Braddock Drive Elementary stepped into their boxing stances and learned how to punch with Mija Fitness, an all-women boxing company based in LA.


This is the third year that Mija Fitness has hosted a boxing workshop along with a playground equipment drive to bring brand new jump ropes, balls, and skip-its, amongst other items, for our girls to enjoy playtime!

Being Kind to Our Body


To reflect on what they learned this month, our girls at Bethune Middle School took the mic and got creative, creating a news segment to share their insights on how to be kind to our bodies.


One group of girls talked about body positivity, the importance of healthy eating habits and the impact of treating our bodies with kindness. They discussed ways to have a balanced diet including planning meals ahead of time.


Program Facilitator Symphony Powell reminds our girls that "Body positivity is when you have a really positive mindset towards your body and how you feel, and it doesn't matter what other people say or do because you still feel good about yourself."
