Our Story

Working with and on behalf of girls since 1979; first as Big Sisters Society before becoming an affiliate of Girls Inc. in 2004. We have been ensuring a safe, diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environment for girls through 100% cost-free programming. 

Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta serves communities all over the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo to deliver our programs and positively influence girls’ lives.

Girls Inc. delivers life-changing programs that are preventative, comprehensive, transformational and evidence based. We strive to equip girls to achieve academically; lead healthy and physically active lives; manage money; navigate media messages; and discover an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.
