Girls Incorporated of Long Island

What Girls Incorporated of Long Island does

Girls Inc. of Long Island is a Deer Park, New York-based nonprofit affiliate of the national Girls Inc. organization, founded in 2005 to serve middle and high school girls across Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island. Its core technology is a proprietary, evidence-based curriculum organized around a "Strong, Smart, and Bold" framework, delivered through eight program lines: School-Based After-School Programs (weekly sessions at 24 program sites across seven partner school districts), Bold Future Leaders (high school leadership and career readiness), Summer Camps at venues including the Cradle of Aviation Museum and Nassau Community College, an annual Spring Empowerment Conference, TeenCon (a multi-state college immersion experience for rising juniors and seniors), Project Accelerate (alumnae support through college and into early career), topical Workshops, and Community Programs open to all Long Island girls grades 6-12.

The organization delivers programs via partnership channels (school districts, universities, museums), supplemented by direct-to-consumer community offerings. It does not sell to participants in a commercial sense — after-school programs are free, summer camps are subsidized at $225 per week, and the primary revenue is philanthropic, drawn from five streams: corporate and foundation partnerships (Bank of America, National Grid, PSEG Long Island, Macy's, Lockheed Martin, Nike, and others), an individual-donor Champions for Girls Giving Society with tiers from $1,000 to $100,000+, event-based fundraising (Evening of Impact & Possibility, Champions for Girls Breakfast, Spring Empowerment Conference), modest program fees, and institutional grants including a $200,000 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders award in 2023.

The affiliate reaches an average of 850 to 1,000 girls annually, operates with a small staff (11-50 employees) under Executive Director Dr. Patricia L. Charlemagne, and is supported by a Board of Directors and an Advisory Board with senior practitioners from Google, EY, Baker Tilly, Kirkland & Ellis, PSEG, National Grid, Stony Brook Medicine, and Hofstra. It is part of a 75-affiliate national network serving over 100,000 participants and reports that roughly 75-86 cents of every dollar raised supports girls' programming.
