On October 17th, we hosted our first in-person event since 2019, Full Moon, Full Potential, on the gorgeous rooftop of the Kimpton Canary Hotel, and celebrated the strong, smart and bold girls of Santa Barbara County.

We were surrounded by Girls Inc. families, friends, elected officials, education & nonprofits leaders, and our wonderful supporters: some new and some who have been investing in our girls for decades. The sense of community was palpable and striking.

Here at Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara, we firmly believe that truest measure of success of a community is the well-being of its people and the opportunities they are afforded to thrive. Together, we strengthen our community by unlocking the full potential of our girls and building up the next generation of female leaders. By supporting families with affordable, accessible care, mentorship, and enrichment programs for their daughters, we create a strong foundation for success. Girls Inc. girls become young adults who are confident in their abilities, prepared to advocate for themselves and others, and strive to improve the world around them.

At the event we debuted our new video, which highlights the amazing girls we serve, and our commitment to community. Here it is for your enjoyment!
