Girls Without Limits! is a free after-school program that encourages girls ages 9-14 in math, science, economics, art, service learning and building self-esteem through a positive and fun learning environment. Girls may face many inequities in life, but Girls Without Limits! empowers them to believe in themselves, no matter their gender, sexuality, culture, personal history, ethnicity, or socio-economic background.
The Girls Without Limits! after-school program is unique because girls can participate at no cost. The program offers a consistent academic component and high quality mentoring. The YWCA also holds two low-cost Girls Without Limits! Summer Day Camps in July and August, providing girls with a meaningful summer experience.
Girls Without Limits! has offered a variety of educational opportunities, including:

Girls Without Limits! annually serves over 300 girls in the Thurston County area through its clubs and camps. It has been in operation since 1998.
