During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, GIGA served a total of 2,037 youth, through ten after-school programs, nine school-based programs, three summer camp programs, and three weekend programs and twenty events and workshops. Our participants are primarily girls of color, ranging in age from 5 to 18 years old. The age distribution of the girls served is as follows: 29% are ages 5-8, 58% are ages 9-11, 9% are ages 12-14, and 4% are ages 15-18. Most of these girls come from single-parent households, typically headed by mothers, and 85% come from families with a total income of less than $50,000. In the fiscal year 2024/2025, Girls Inc. continued to offer both after-school and partner-based programming, including an in-person after-school program. The outreach programs served 374 youth and the afterschool programs served 545 youth. See continuation on Sch O.

Employing a "whole girl" approach, the Eureka! program also includes sports and physical fitness, personal development, and college and career readiness components.
