Our Thanks

Thanks to the Tulsa Chapter of the American Association of University Women for hosting Girls Inc. at their last meeting. We enjoyed the opportunity to present Girls Inc's vision and to meet all the members involved with your group. For more information on AAUW visit their website here.

We also extend our thanks to the Women and Gender Studies Program at TU for having Gloria Miller, our Executive Director, kick off their lecture series in January with a talk on Tulsa County girls. Also, for letting Girls Inc participate in two benefit performances of the Vagina Monologues, which helped raise funds for DVIS.

If you are involved in a group or organization interested in girls or women's issues and wish to have Girls Inc. present about our program and vision, please contact us.

Girls Inc is an organization of advocacy, inspiration and education for all girls ages 6 to 18. We invite you to learn more about our vision for Tulsa and our 142 years of history.

She Votes 2008

We are excited to announce that Girls Inc. will be kicking off the 2008 election year with She Votes 2008. We are planning several community speaker events and an interactive program for girls to learn about politics, recruit voters, and even blaze their own campaign trail. Girls Inc. will be going to local high schools, encouraging voting, educating about government process, and launching a program for girls to get involved in their own campaign to become elected onto our girls advisory board.

This year’s presidential race is historic for girl and woman kind. 2008 is the first year offering a viable female presidential candidate, and we see it as a phenomenal opportunity for girls to be able to see themselves as future candidates and even as future presidents. Girls Inc supports all women to get involved in politics, exercise their rights as voters, and even run for office. Girls Inc. of Tulsa County does not align itself with a party affiliation but encourages active involvement in the political process.

Talk - The Supergirl Dilemma: The State of Our Girls Girls Inc. and the Department of Community Services at Tulsa Community College hosted an interdisciplinary talk on The Supergirl Dilemma on November 12th at TCC Northeast Campus. The talk centered loosely around nation-wide study conducted for Girls Inc. which indicates that as girls get older they feel mounting pressure from friends, parents, and teachers to be perfect, thin, accommodating, and accomplished. Speakers discussed their own research about different aspects of girls' experiences in our culture.
