Purpose of the Girls Incorporated

The Girls Incorporated ( Girls Inc) was informally formed over 145 years ago. Its sole objective was to focus on the young ladies in the society as they held the key to the future.

The early Girls Inc affiliates did provide programs that addressed the needs of the young ladies by providing them a comfortable and warm atmosphere where they felt free, at home and even respected. Along with this, awareness programs that groomed these girls to be prepared for the future also began.

When the Girls Incorporated became a formal association in 1945, the same objective that is, to support the girls continued. The only difference was the environment of recreation added the educative factors (literacy, cooking, sewing, etc) into it. This was done mainly to prepare these young ladies as wives and homemakers. In order to motivate the girls, the "Homemaker of the Year" award was introduced in 1952 and the Handbook of Charm was published.

The original statement of "Purpose of the Girls Incorporated" was written in 1937. The purpose stated that the little girls of the day would grow up to become the home makers of tomorrow and mothers of citizens of the next generation. Opportunities given to them in the form of cultural background would serve in building healthy minds for training in home craft and basic knowledge of motherhood and thereby set a standard for the future.

Each of the programs that have been developed by or developed with the participation of the Girls Inc has this purpose silver-lined into it. Looking over the years, it can be seen that the Girls Inc have continued to follow this purpose dedicatedly. The programs have evolved over a period of time, however the needs of the girls and the needs of the country, the basic objective still remains and will continue to remain the same.
