About Us

Girls Inc. began in 1976 as the Girls Club of Cobb County serving girls out of a one-room trailer. Each year Girls Inc. serves approximately 1,000 girls in Kindergarten through 12^th grade through comprehensive In-School, After-School and Summer Camp programming in Cobb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties.
