If you’re interested in helping young women grow up to be smart, strong and bold, consider volunteering with Girl’s Inc of Dallas.

Girl’s Inc has six centers in Dallas – in neighborhoods where a lot of girls feel like they do not have much to look forward to. Most of them are from families that struggle to make ends meet. About half of them do not have both of their parents at home, and nearly a fourth of do not live with either parents
