Founded in 2019, INES (Institute for Nurture, Enrichment, and Self-Empowerment)  is a free educational and leadership enrichment program that prepares middle-school aged girls to succeed in top Catholic and independent high schools in New York City. Students who participate in INES are devoted to making substantial gains in learning, leadership and service to others.
