Welcome to Girls Inc. of NW Oregon

Girls Inc. of Northwest Oregon inspires girls, ages 8-18, to be strong, smart, and bold. Our gender-specific programs and research-based curricula provide girls with the confidence and self-esteem to access a bright and economically-independent future.

Delivered throughout the Portland-metro area, our programs help girls form a healthy peer network, achieve academically, and begin preparing for their future through girls’ group meetings, one-on-one mentoring sessions, and enrichment activities.

Donation Drive for Domestic Violence Shelters

The high school students participating in the Associates Mentoring Program are holding a donation drive for three local domestic violence shelters as part of their service-learing project in conjunction with Nike. The girls are collecting any and all toiletry items. Please drop off your donations at the Girls Inc. office. On June 7th, the girls will deliver the items, prepare a meal and perform an African dance routine for the women and children. Please contact us with questions.

Power of the Purse 2010

Girls Inc. of NW Oregon extends a sincere thank you to presenting sponsor, The Standard, and to all of our other sponsors for helping to make Power of the Purse the most successful to date.

This year’s Power of the Purse was an amazing night! We shopped amongst Portland’s finest fashion retailers, applauded unforgettable entertainment, and experienced a once in a lifetime live performance from the legendary Dionne Warwick! Above all, we celebrated the courageous girls we strive to support who boldly stood on stage with their impeccably paired designers and Purse-o-nalities!

As a result of the event’s success and your steadfast support, we can reach out to more girls in need- to help them see their potential, honor their resiliency, and acquire tools and skills for a confident and economically independent adulthood.

Thank you!
