    Girls Inc. of Durham, Yvette Nechvatal-Drew, Executive Director
    Girls Inc. of Durham is a part of Girls Incorporated, the North American network of over 88 Girls Inc. affiliates, providing more than 140,000 girls across the U.S. and Canada with life-changing experiences and solutions to the unique challenges girls face. 
    Empowering Girls in Durham to Be Strong, Smart, and Bold
    At Girls Inc. Durham, we believe in the limitless potential of every girl. While girls today face unique challenges—from body image struggles to poverty and personal safety concerns—we are committed to turning obstacles into opportunities for growth, confidence, and success.
    Every day, in communities across Durham Region, Girls Inc. inspires girls to thrive. Our approach, known as The Girls Inc. Experience, combines caring people, supportive environments, and engaging programming that equips girls with the tools to succeed.
    In girls-only spaces that are safe, welcoming, and affirming, trained staff and volunteers build lasting mentoring relationships. Here, girls discover a sisterhood rooted in respect, encouragement, and shared ambition.
    Our hands-on, research-backed programs help girls set goals, overcome challenges, and achieve academically. Through curriculum-based in-school classes, after-school programs, summer and March Break day camps, workshops, seminars, and community events, girls gain the confidence, skills, and resilience they need to navigate the world boldly and confidently.
    At Girls Inc. Durham, every girl has the chance to grow stronger, smarter, and bolder—because when girls succeed, our whole community succeeds. Girls Inc. of Durham served over 1900 girls aged 6 to18 from Oshawa, Whitby, Pickering, and Ajax in 2025.

    • Summer Camp Testimonial

      Our girls spent two weeks at camp 2018 summer and absolutely loved it. What an amazing experience for them both. The tearful goodbyes from campers and counsellors alike told the story of a week spent making close and meaningful relationships. Reading the bag of G-mail the kids brought home brought tears to our eyes. Congratulations Girls Inc. on a job very well done.
