About The Facility

Gymnasium and Community Center Impact:

  • Up to 240 additional girls, totaling 390, could be served at our main site.

  • The majority of our children are unable to participate in school sports due to the lack of finances and/or transportation.

  • The gym provides opportunities to focus on physical activity as the obesity rate among children in the United States continues to rise.

  • Our outreach sites are able to utilize the facility, potentially reaching more than 1,000 children.

  • When not in use by Girls Inc., the center is available to the community for activities such as family reunions, parties, meetings, recreational activities, etc.

Facility specifications:

  • The total facility square footage is 7,566 of which 5,823 is the gymnasium.

  • The gym is located at 860 Clinton Avenue.

  • Complete with a chef’s kitchen, large pantry, and sound system for multipurpose use.

We are excited at the possibility of being able to better serve our current children and expand the number of children we can accommodate. As needs in our community grow and change, it’s important that we are prepared to continue accepting children. With our current facilities, our growth possibilities are limited, and we never want to turn away a child who needs our program.

—Amy Barker Phillips, Advisor
