ST. PETERSBURG – Formed in 1974, Girls Inc. of Pinellas has been positively impacting the lives of girls ages six through 18 at their location at 7700 61st St. N for more than 40 years. Their stated mission stays the same: Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold!
The program persists even through COVID-19, with Girls, Inc. offering in-person programming for virtual school students through the school year, offering a safe place for girls to get online and complete learning with trained professionals’ assistance. Additional afterschool camps and holiday programs feature STEM activities and learning experiences.
Continually reaching out to the community to support their programming and initiatives, Executive Director Darla Otey recently sponsored a “Women in Leadership Power Panel” to encourage and inspire women in the community in early or in-transition business careers.
