Delaware Girls Initiative (DGI) works to make sure that all at risk girls in the state are identified and that there are appropriate programs in place to address their specific needs. DGI is one of the first statewide programs developed to address the gender specific needs of girls. We advocate for this population by providing research, identifying gaps along a continuum of service and working with organizations to develop programs that can address these gaps. We seek to work with legislatures to educate and inform them on key issues and to help pass legislation that is critical to addressing the needs of girls who are in, or are at risk of becoming a part of, the juvenile justice system in Delaware.
