GEMS Inc.
Girls Empowered through Meaningful Support   ext. 109
The GEMS Program is a free program established 35 years ago. Each group strives to assist girls in the White Plains community in becoming self-reliant, competent, caring and healthy. It does so by providing relevant engaging activities in the areas of cultural awareness, health and wellness, college and careers, and self esteem. The Gems Program has three components for three distinct age groups

Little Sisters (grades 1-5)      Mon 3:00-5:00pm
Faize (grades 6-8)                Wed 2:45 - 4:45pm
Strivers (9-12 grades)            Thur 3:00 - 5:00pm
Participants in the Little sisters program can also participate in The YWCA’s Kid’s Connection Program where they receive after school care and activities Tuesday- Friday at a sliding scale rate.
Registration is limited to girls attending White Plains Public Schools. Enrollment is for the academic year and past participants are given priority registration status.
GEMS receives financial support from the New York State Office of Children & Family Services through the Westchester County Youth Bureau, the United Way of Westchester and Putnam, the St. Faith's House Foundation, and the Jandon Foundation.
