Research & Data
Measuring outcomes is critical to providing girls with the right support and opportunities to thrive.
Our Approach to Research
Girls Inc. LA measures the success of our program through a combination of quantitative and qualitative outcomes, consistently tracked throughout the year. To gauge interest, confidence in the subjects and key social-emotional measures, girls complete surveys at the start, middle, and end of the year. Additionally, we survey families and school partners to measure their satisfaction and feedback on programs.
When we use the latest evidence to drive quality improvement, sustainability, and advocacy efforts, we can inspire transformative action to support all girls in being Strong, Smart & Bold.

Girls Inc. girls outperform peers on key indicators.
From 2017 to 2019, the American Institutes for Research implemented a quasi-experimental research study with four Girls Inc. affiliates and their school districts in small, medium, and large communities that were reflective of the larger Girls Inc. network.
The results are truly compelling, documenting with strong evidence that Girls Inc. changes the trajectory of girls’ lives and sets them up for life-long success.
