After School Programs
Girls Inc.
Girls Inc. of Alameda County has been serving the Bay Area for over 60 years with a mission to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. At La Escuelita we work toward this mission by providing an after school program to scholars of all genders in all grades.
Activities:
- Academic Engagement: Literacy, STEM, Basic Career Exploration, Homework Support
- Healthy Living: Nutrition, Sports, Preadolescent Health
- Leadership Development: Confidence, Relationships with Peers and Adults, Positive Self and Community Images, Positive Risk-Taking
All Gender Programming: Due to the outstanding results of our literacy programming, Girls Inc. was asked by some partner schools to serve all genders, too, so all students can reach grade-level reading. We do so in same-gender settings.
The program is FREE and is every day after school until 6pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Rainbow Club?
Why is a Rainbow Club important?
Research shows that offering student groups like a Rainbow Club and other identity-based affinity spaces at school helps the entire school community feel included — even for students who don’t participate. Moreover, their presence has shown to have a positive academic, health, and social impact on students who participate while reducing bullying instances campus wide.
