Each day, I’ve watched her blossom into a fiercely independent young girl whose kindness knows no bounds.

At Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, every story of growth reminds us why we do what we do — to create spaces where girls can lead with heart, confidence, and courage. For Eveling, a proud mother in our community, watching her daughter’s journey through our Strong Girls After School program has been nothing short of transformative.

“Girls Inc. has been a beautiful chapter in my daughter’s journey. Each day, I’ve watched her blossom into a fiercely independent young girl whose kindness knows no bounds. She cares deeply for her friends, her classmates, her sisters, always choosing compassion. This year, she received the ‘Make Your Voice Count’ award — she’s not only learned to speak up for herself but has become a powerful advocate for those around her. She stands tall for what is right, ensuring that no one is left behind. Her empathy and leadership shine through every action she takes. Watching her grow daily into someone so generous, strong, and self-aware is the greatest gift! #proudmom”

Since joining the Strong Girls After School program in 2023, Eveling’s daughter, Kendra, has found a space that encourages her to explore her voice, build confidence, and develop lasting friendships rooted in respect and compassion. Through hands-on activities, mentorship, and leadership projects, she’s learned how to speak up — not just for herself, but for others who may not yet feel ready to do so.

Her growth mirrors what we see every day at Girls Inc. — girls discovering the strength that was already within them. With the guidance of trained mentors and the support of their peers, they become empathetic leaders who know how to listen, act, and advocate.

This mother’s pride reflects the impact of the Girls Inc. Experience: a holistic approach that nurtures the whole girl — mind, body, and heart. When girls learn to combine compassion with confidence, their leadership becomes unstoppable.

At Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, we’re proud to stand beside every girl — and every family — as they grow strong, smart, and bold together.

Want to be part of that impact? Whether you’re exploring careers, looking for a meaningful way to volunteer, or interested in sponsoring a program, there’s a place for you at Girls Inc. of Greater Miami. Together, we can inspire more girls to be strong, smart, and boldly themselves.
