My name is Quinn, and I’m 12 years old. Girls Inc. has helped me become more confident, believe in myself, and understand the importance of being strong and independent.

One of my favourite things about Girls Inc. is being surrounded by positive role models who encourage and inspire me. I also love having the opportunity to be a positive role model for others, whether I’m attending Girls Inc. programming, at school, or playing sports.

Through Girls Inc., I’ve learned to believe in myself, stand up for what I believe in, try new things, and lift other girls up along the way. The lessons I’ve learned in the last 5 years, from ages 7 to 12, are ones I will carry with me as I grow older. They will help guide me through new challenges, remind me of my worth, and inspire me to keep being a positive influence on the people around me.

Girls Inc. gives girls a place where they can be themselves, discover their strengths, and believe in who they are and who they can become. I hope to carry that message forward by encouraging the girls I meet along the way to believe in themselves, support one another, and know that they can do anything they set their minds to. The confidence and lessons I’ve gained from Girls Inc. are gifts I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
