L.E.A.D Initiative (Leading & Educating Across Domains)
Girls Inc. is a proud participant in the L.E.A.D Initiative program with girls ages 10-18. The intitiative is designed to develop a network of youth leaders to facilitate prevention programming to their peers, enhance current leadership programs with more effective prevention strategies, increase the use of youth leaders in Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Prevention (ATOD) programming, reach communities throughout Indiana by integrating youth into the Indiana Prevention system, and reduce ATOD use among youth. www.leadinitiative.org.
Girls Invited to Work with the 2015 NCAA Woman of the Year Nominees
The Sisterhood members and girls ages 9 and 10 were invited to work with the 2014 NCAA Woman of the Year nominees. They were also invited to attend the awards dinner the following evening. This was a very exciting opportunity for the girls to work with women who have succeeded not only in athletics, but in academics and community service. What a great example for our girls! This is an experience they will remember for many years to come!
