G3: Generation Giga Girls (or G3 for short). is a FREE 8-week program where participants will have the opportunity to connect with high schoolers across Orange County, foster skills in advocacy, presentations, public speaking, and data analysis. This program counts towards eligibility for Girls Inc. National Scholarships and there’s an opportunity to earn community service hours!*
This fall we are going to be focusing on GPAs: Are They Fair?. Participants will dive deep into how GPAs are calculated, look at the data on academic and extracurriculars offered at different schools, explore college admissions rates, and examine the relationship between education and income.
In G3, participants will learn a set of transferable skills they can apply to their majors and future careers!
