Evaluation Intern

About Us

Girls Inc. of Alameda County’s mission is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Since our founding in 1958, we have programs that support the unique needs of girls aged 5-18, and, starting in the 1990’s, to design and deliver programs using an equity lens, serving those from some of County’s least resourced communities, primarily in and around Oakland. Through a K-12 Program Continuum, we empower girls by equipping them to navigate gender, economic, and racial barriers and grow into healthy, educated, and independent adults. All programs are developmentally appropriate, supporting girls’ changing needs as they grow. From literacy interventions in elementary school and exciting hands-on STEM and STEAM projects in middle school to building leadership skills and college readiness in high school, Girls Inc. girls receive the support and the opportunities they need to thrive. Girls Inc. of Alameda County’s operating budget is $7M with 100 staff in our downtown Oakland Simpson Center for Girls and in more than 15 schools and satellite centers across Alameda County.

About the Role

The Program Evaluation Intern plays an instrumental role in the continuous quality improvement process of Girls Inc. programs. Through analyses of the 2022-23 Girls Inc. school year and summer program data, interns will summarize program outcomes and results in reports that both inform our practice and demonstrate our impact. At the end of the internship period, each intern creates a presentation to engage with a cross section of Girls Inc. leadership and staff to determine what aspects of programs are effective and, most importantly, program areas to improve, so Girls Inc. can make sure we provide girls with high quality programming that will inspire them to be strong, smart, and bold.
