Dear Parents/Guardians,
Girls Inc. of Greater Pittsburgh (formerly known as Strong Women, Strong Girls) is excited to launch our NEWEST program, Girls Inc. Middle School with girls at Environmental Charter Middle School for the 2025-2026 school year. We will hold the program at ECS on Thursdays from 3:25-4:55 pm. Girls Inc. of Greater Pittsburgh (GIGP) Middle School Program serves girls in 6th-8th grade in our free and innovative after-school program. Through fun, hands-on activities, girls build skills in leadership, self-esteem, and problem-solving. The program is led by college-aged female mentors from the University of Pittsburgh, who guide girls in building confidence and community together.
Our program will take place in person at ECS Middle. GIGP’s top priority is the well-being of all girls, mentors, and families. We will follow any health and safety guidelines in place at your girl’s program site. Please note, our Elementary Program has SEPARATE MATERIALS and program times than the Middle School Program. If you have multiple children involved in GIGP in different grades, please plan accordingly!
Girls registered through your site will be paired with female mentors from our University of Pittsburgh Chapter. Our curriculum is rooted in the Girls Inc. mission to inspire all girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold.
Each week, girls will engage in activities that promote healthy development, critical thinking, and self-confidence while building supportive mentoring relationships.
