Join us in welcoming Nicole Light, our new Vice President of Program Operations! Nicole will be leading our programmatic efforts in our building and across our region, ensuring our Program Leaders have the support they need to dream stronger, smarter, and bolder. Her experience in the classroom as a teacher and in the community as a leader will lend itself well to everything she does here, and will show our girls exactly what it means to grow up Strong, Smart, and Bold.

Welcome, Nicole! We already couldn’t do this without you! ❤️

As we look towards the end of the school year, we can’t help but look back to the women who got us here! Very special thank you to The Links, Incorporated for being a core part of our community and making Girls Inc. your home. The girls have learned so much from you - not just skills and knowledge, but kindness, philanthropy, and the importance of showing up again and again (and again!)

This group of women brought it all together yesterday with a celebration for the books!! From FST engagement to party snacks galore, a great time was had by every single girl (and grown up!) Thank you!!

The complete Celebration Luncheon album is coming soon, but we couldn’t wait to share some photos to celebrate the joy, connection, and incredible community that made the day so special. ✨

Thank you to our community for reminding our girls exactly who is standing beside them!

💓And a special thank you to Carissa Warfield from Still Silver for the amazing photos - and for always showing up for Girls Inc.!

Thank you to and for inviting our girls to Marie and Rosetta!, a great play for the girls to expose themselves to different perspectives through the arts. They had an amazing night, and great conversations after.

We had so much fun gathering at Sophie’s at Saks last night to celebrate our incredible Champions for Girls and share more about Girls Inc. of Sarasota County’s 50th anniversary year. Guests also had the opportunity to hear from two amazing girls as they shared their personal journeys at Girls Inc. and the impact the organization has had on their lives. We are so grateful for the supporters who help us build an even brighter future where girls in our community can grow up Strong, Smart, and Bold!

Congratulations to Jabari Williams and Kim Jansen for completing the inaugural Leadership Lab program! As long time Program Directors, they continue to invest in themselves to keep growing alongside our girls and our programs.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this (and the skills learned through it!) to our community!

Girls Inc. was excited to be part of the Cascades Women’s Club Spring Carnival this year! We were honored to welcome members of the club to Girls Inc. for a special check presentation. Thank you for your support and for helping girls grow up Strong, Smart, and Bold.

Thank you to the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation and Young Chefs Academy of Sarasota for ensuring our girls are learning critical cooking skills from a young age!

We are so grateful for what they've gained - and for the delicious coffee cake in honor of Virginia B. Toulmin!

The girls received one-year scholarships to Young Chefs Academy from the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.
