“If it wasn’t for the comfort, understanding, and education that Girls Inc. has offered me, I would truly be someone else.”
Alexis joined Girls Inc. in the seventh grade as a shy and self-conscious girl. Thanks to the support of the staff and her participation in various programs, she is now outgoing, confident, and optimistic. Along with her Girls Inc. participation, she has also grown and matured through activities such as art classes and involvement at her church. Alexis hopes to pursue a field that deals with social work and plans to become a psychologist. She has always considered Girls Inc. to be her second family, saying, “I honestly have to thank my Girls Inc. facilitators for opening my eyes to the opportunities that surround me.”
