They offer after-school and summer programs, at no cost to families. Girls Inc. offers students a pro-girl environment based on mutual respect with opportunities for leadership. Their research-based programs guided by highly trained staff support students in navigating their path to independent adulthood. Monson Savings Bank has been a proud community partner of Girls Inc. of the Valley for several years.
Most recently, a group of seven Monson Savings Bank employees volunteered their time at Comm”unity” Summer Nights at Girls Inc. (pictured above). Girls Inc. of the Valley hosted several Comm”unity” Summer Nights at their Holyoke location throughout the summer. During the last event of the season, Monson Savings Bank representatives assisted with crafts, serving dinner, monitoring activities, and more.
