Spooky night is upon us and we want to ensure all the ghoulish girls and their families are #SAFE and have #FUN for #Halloween! Here are a few tips for this Halloween: 🎃 Use the sidewalk: Always walk on sidewalks or paths 👻 BE SEEN! make sure you are visible 🎃 STAY IN GROUPS: Young children should always be with an adult. 👻NEVER go inside a house to get treats. 🎃 ALWAYS have your treats checked by an adult before eating them 👻STAY ALERT: Avoid distraction 🥰👻 MOST IMPORTANTLY HAVE FUN

What better way to enjoy the fall air than by decorating pumpkins 🎃, painting faces 🎨, playing with goats 🐐& and fall themed read aloud 📖! We enjoyed connecting with our Greater Jax Community this past Saturday! Thank you #earthasfarmandmarket for teaming up with us; the volunteers from City Year Jacksonville, VyStar Credit Union, AARP + our AMAZING team for all your support, of course, and everyone that came out to enjoy your day with us! Make sure you follow us and and our friends to stay connected with all the great things we have in store ♥️

Girls Inc. of Jacksonville extends a heartfelt thank you to Girls Inc. for investing in leadership training for new executives through the Executive Leadership Management Series. Our CEO, Deidra Simon, joined fellow Girls Inc. affiliate CEOs Jennifer Pigza (Girls Inc. of Island City), Catherine Glover (Girls Inc. of Bay County), Natalie Martinez (Girls Inc. of Lynn), and Sharlise Smith-Rodriguez (Girls Inc. of Westchester) for an intensive two-day training hosted by Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis. This training equipped CEOs with the knowledge, skills, and professional development needed to ensure their affiliates provide the highest quality programs and services to the girls we serve. More importantly, it fostered connections, camaraderie, and support among affiliate leaders and the Girls Inc. National team. Thank you to Stephanie Hull, President & CEO of Girls Inc., and her exceptional leadership staff for their commitment to this learning experience. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our outstanding trainers: Niki Kelly (VP of Affiliate Services), Deb Hopkins (Director of Affiliate Services & Expansion), Maria Diaz (Affiliate Engagement Director), and our favorite CEO mentor, Tish Correa-Osborne (Girls Inc. of Owensboro). Your guidance, direction, and friendship have strengthened our entire network, and we are better because of you! #GirlsInc. #ELMS #GirlsIncofJacksonville
