after school Dear Friends of Girls Inc. of NW Oregon,

The past year was full of growth and change for Girls Inc. of NW Oregon. Our organization has embarked on a strategic plan which we believe will bring long-term, lasting results for the girls we serve.

In the 2010 - 2011 school year, Girls Inc. focused our Girls Group programming on two “hub” communities - the neighborhoods surrounding Roosevelt and Franklin High Schools. We methodically opened Girls Groups in elementary schools and middle schools where we can provide a continuum of programs from 3rd grade through high school graduation. Over the next few years, we will open sites as our girls get older, allowing them to continue participation in our programs. While making this shift, we also launched our cost-recovery programming, allowing girls in southwest Portland to enroll on a fee for service basis for Girls Group.

This change was not without its tough moments as we closed some Girls Group sites and opened others. But, as I look at the results of our programming, I am confident that we’re on the right track.

We hold our programs to a high standard. We set the benchmark for success at 65% of participating girls reporting maintaining or increasing self-confidence, and 65% maintaining or increasing positive social behaviors. In the 2010-2011 school year, we exceeded all expectations with 81% girls reporting an increased or maintained high level of self confidence and 74% reporting an increased or maintained high level of positive social behaviors.

I am proud of where we’ve come, and I am looking foward to the potential of our new direction. Thank you for being a part of our strong, smart and bold community of supporters. We could not be where we are without you.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth NyeExecutive Director

Girls have the right to

be

themselves -- people first

and females second.

This summer two groups of campers participated

in week-long Girls Inc. Girl Power Camps focused on empowerment, building strong relationships and gaining new experiences.

Each group of campers (the first, ages 11-14 and the second, ages 8-11) spent some of each day participating in activities and games from the Allies in Action curriculum and some of each day participating in a variety of activities to supplement and support empowerment. These included classes at Studio Nia, a skateboarding clinic with Skate Like a Girl, a sewing workshop at Breedom Public Sewing House, a meeting with City Commissioner Dan Saltzman to talk about women in politics, a ropes course through Adventures Without Limits for older girls and a waterfall hike/fishing trip in the Columbia Gorge with Educational Recreational Adventures for younger girls.

For many of the 18 campers, it was the first time they had danced in a Nia class, skateboarded, or gone hiking in the Columbia Gorge.

Our Strategic InitiativesGROWING UP WITH THE GIRLS We have exposed hundreds of girls to empowering programs based on solid research and evaluation since 2001. Participating in a single program is simply not enough to create the impact our girls deserve. As the next step in our evolution, we plan to grow the programs we offer with the goal of creating a more sustained, direct and comprehensive impact on the lives of our girls and on the community as a whole. Before now, if a girl “aged” out of the group at her school, there was no other way for her continued involvement. We want to continue serving girls who’ve found a home at Girls Inc.

GIVING VOICE TO THE GIRLS We understand the complexity of girls’ lives and are dedicated to advancing the basic human rights of girls - the right to be respected, self-reliant, healthy, safe and challenged. We plan to renew our commitment to advocacy by helping girls find their voice in public arenas and bring their compelling perspectives to policy makers, the media and business leaders.
