Who We Are
At Girls Inc. Limestone, we are building a new generation of strong, smart, and bold leaders throughout our four-county service district in Southeastern Ontario, Canada.
OUR PURPOSE AND MISSION
Girls Incorporated of Limestone, Algonquin and Lakeshore is committed to inspiring all participants to be strong, smart and bold by promoting their emotional, physical, economic and social well-being through the delivery of comprehensive programming and the friendship and guidance of responsible, mature and caring women. We are dedicated to providing long-term, prevention-based programs and services to our participants.
Our Mission
Inspiring all girls+ to be strong, smart, and bold.
Our Vision
Powerful girls+ in an equitable society.
OUR HISTORY
We were incorporated as Big Sisters of Kingston in 1973 by a small group of women dedicated to improving the life situation of girls in Kingston, Ontario. By 2005, we were serving almost 300 girls each year. In 2005, we expanded our service district, transformed to become a Girls Inc. Affiliate, and now serve more than 1,300 girls, women and gender-expansive individuals every year.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors is comprised of individuals from within our defined service group. This ensures that together, they have lived experience and an understanding of the issues and barriers faced by our program participants. They are excellent ambassadors for our people, our agency, and our need for far greater equity for girls, women, and gender-expansive people in our community.
The Board provides excellence in leadership with a focus on governance, development, strategic direction and financial oversight.
