Good For Girls Initiative Incorporated: Helping Young Girls in Our Schools

The Good Girls Initiative is a newer non-profit that started in Volusia County, and now they are trying to help girls in Flagler County Schools. The name may not sound familiar as they are more widely known in Volusia County as the Oopsie Project.  The Oopsie project started as a single person trying to make a difference and over time has blossomed into an organization that helps multiple counties here in Florida.
