2026 Fall Appeal
Together, we’re raising $105,000 to support girls’ leadership, social-emotional growth, and access to afterschool programs across Alameda.
Meet Tallulah
This school year, Tallulah is discovering new strengths, building confidence, and learning that her voice matters.
At Girls Inc. of the Island City, every girl and youth deserve that same opportunity. Together, we’re helping hundreds of Alameda youth start the school year ready to learn and graduate ready to lead.
I love showing up to get her and seeing her engaged in all sorts of different play with girls of all ages. It’s very SPECIAL!Sloan (Tallulah’s father)
Girls Inc. of the Island City is a really good space for our child to come every day. We love that she is excited to experience female empowerment and is developing strong, supportive connections with great peers.Rachel (Tallulah’s mother)
