About Our Programs for Elementary School Girls
At Girls Inc. of Metro Denver, we know that our future leaders will be a generation of women leaders- and women leaders start as girls. Beginning the summer after kindergarten, our programs for elementary schoolers encourage girls* to explore, build a positive self-image, and develop their voice. Programs include age-appropriate financial literacy programs, nutrition and healthy living, early STEM programming, a robust mentoring program, and much more. Thoughtful programs, delivered in a pro-girl environment, that is physically socially, and emotionally safe, provide girls with the tools they need to succeed today and in the future.
*Our programs are intended for youth who identify as girls (regardless of their assigned sex at birth) or gender-expansive (non-binary, gender non-conforming, and/or exploring their gender identity or expression).

Girls must be 6 years old or have completed kindergarten in order to enroll in both our after school and summer camp programs. The maximum age eligible to enroll in our elementary school programs is 12 years old or 5th grade. We offer additional programs for girls in 6th grade through college.
