I am participating in the Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area first Girls Inc. Virtual Dance-a-thon, a fundraiser to benefit the Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area program that empowers local girls to be strong, smart and bold! Please consider supporting me with a donation! Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area is a program of the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, and an affiliate of Girls Incorporated®, a national research, education and direct advocacy organization. Researched-based curriculums are offered including STEAM, Media Literacy, Economic Literacy, Growing up Strong, Smart and Bold (friendships and conflict resolution) and Healthy Living/Self-care. Programs are offered during the academic school year, school vacations and the summer. In-person and virtual programming are provided in a safe, socially distant manner. Girls and the adults in their lives have shared just how important these social connections are during a time of isolation when girls are missing peer interactions.
