Why It Matters: Girls in Houston Today
Why It Matters: Girls in Houston Today
Let’s talk numbers.
🟡 Only 29% of Houston’s STEM workforce is female. Even fewer are women of color.
🟡 Teen girls in Houston are more likely than boys to experience anxiety/depression, but less likely to access mental health support.
🟡 Women make up 48% of Houston’s labor force, but hold only 33% of leadership roles in top industries.
But here’s the flip side—hope is powerful:
💛 Girls who participate in leadership programs like this one are 3x more likely to pursue college and careers in leadership.
💛 86% of Girls Inc. participants nationally say they feel prepared to handle future challenges.
💛 Our GIGH alumnae say the experience helped them feel heard, confident, and capable.
We’re not just preparing girls to fit into the world, we’re preparing them to shape it.
