Girls Inc. of Taunton has been serving girls and young women since 1912.

Across the decades, we adapted to meet the specific environmental challenges facing girls and young women, always working in partnership with schools and communities, and guided by our founders’ fundamental belief in the inherent potential of each girl.

Over 100 years of sisterhood.

Our affiliate in Taunton takes great pride in our roots, embraces our history and values the many girls and women who walked through our doors before us and who continued our legacy for multiple generations of strong, smart and bold girls.

Evolving with girls.

Woven into those early girls’ clubs are the same core values of Girls Inc. today: the importance of creating a safe gathering place for girls to learn and to share in a sisterhood and a strong premise that each girl can develop her own capacities, self- confidence, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent.

Girls Inc. is the leading expert on girls.

Our participants are equipped with the skills to lead and create positive change in their communities.

 

Girls Inc. has served thousands of girls in the greater Taunton Area since 1912.

In 112 years of service, our facility has housed an-all girl environment in which supported a community space for all girls to thrive, learn and grow.
