Who We Are

Mainely Girls, a state-wide, non-profit organization, was founded in 1996 with a two-part mission:
to work with rural communities to assist them in focusing on girls' needs in a preventative, proactive and positive manner; and to work on the state level to bring about positive change for girls.
