Our Story

Our non-profit organization was founded in 2006 and is based in Redding, California.

Girls Inc. of the Northern Sacramento Valley (NSV) is dedicated to the empowerment of young girls in our community. Our organization proudly serves girls from Shasta and Tehama counties, aged 6 to 18, through a diverse array of in-school, after-school, and extracurricular initiatives. These meticulously crafted programs, informed by research, foster self-esteem, reshape perceptions, and unlock the leadership, friendship, innovation, and critical thinking potential within each girl. Our overarching mission is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
