Girls Quest
Girls Quest is an organization for girls founded in 1936 by Ruth Uarda Zirkle Kauth. The organization was created to enrich the lives of teen girls and to help them become active members of their communities and to reach their full potential. The girls enjoy outdoor education experiences, leadership training and they have year-round mentors. Girls Quest has helped over 300 disadvantaged girls from the New York and Catskills region for over 70 years. The girls ages are 8-17, and they participate in educational experiences that promote literacy, ecological awareness, teamwork, peer support and role-modeling, creative expression, problem solving, and leadership.
== History ==
Girls Quest was first founded as Girls’ Vacation Fund in 1936 by Ruth Uarda Zirkle Kauth, who was a social worker at the Henry Street Settlement House. Ruth led a group of women that offered recreation and health programs for the sisters of boys who attended the Boys Athletic League's summer programs, which her husband, Willard L. Kauth, co-founded. The first camp was named Camp Manitou and opened in 1936 in Central Valley,New York. It offered a two-week vacation for over 100 girls of the age 8 to 13.
The name of the organization changed to Girls Quest in July 2005 to better reflect the approach to the development of young women and girls. The focus of Girls Quest has matured and has developed a new mission: to nurture girls from low-income families in New York to help them achieve their full potential and become active members of their communities by building academic and social competence. They continue to build up the lives of young women to create strong, empowering, industrious and caring inhabitants of their communities.
