Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker was disappointed that Tarrant County commissioners voted against providing state funding to Girls Inc.
Thousands of women and members of the Girls Inc. of Tarrant County march down Cherry Street for the 2023 Day of the Girl march at Burnett Park in Fort Worth on Friday.When the Tarrant County commissioners voted to block state funding for Girls Inc. earlier this month, Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker was disappointed, she said.
“I want young women, especially this population of girls, to feel loved by their city and county,” she told the Star-Telegram. Throughout the year, Girls Inc. provides school- and community-based programming to support young women at every stage of development, from developing literacy skills to helping teens apply to college.
Jamere has participated in Girls Inc. for seven years. Now she’s a semifinalist for the organization’s national scholarship, which she would use to attend a four-year college. She then plans to get her master’s degree in library science.The county may have pulled resources from the organization, but that won’t stop Girls Inc. from providing the programming it has provided to girls like Jamere since 1976.
