Annually in May at our center in Albany and in Schenectady, we hold the Girls’ Night Out dinner and recognition celebration to honor members for their participation and achievements in personal growth throughout the school year. Ranging in age from 5 to 18, every member, generally accompanied by family, is called to come forward and receive her personalized
Certificate of Participation. Those determined by staff to have made particularly notable strides, such as Most Improved Member, receive additional personalized recognition. Scholarships are awarded to members to offset costs of furthering their education, or to participate in a school-related activity that will offer an exceptional educational enrichment experience. Each year, $10,000+ in scholarship awards are presented.
Each center also announces its Girl of the Year. Generally, she has grown up with Girls Inc., is a current member, and volunteers in some way with us or her community. Staff selects the recipient based on “personal growth” and “progress.” Girls receive a trophy and her name is engraved on a plaque that is permanently displayed at her center. Both recipients are guest speakers at the annual Fuel Her Fire event in the Fall and address the audience as to how Girls Inc. has impacted their lives.
