Adult support strengthens girls’ experiences, and allows them to grow in a safe, nurturing environment. Nearly 100 adults are already working within our very active Neighborhood at many different levels.
There are so many opportunities to plug in for a few hours, a day, once a month or a couple of times a year:
- Accompany girls on an event that lasts a few hours. Interested in dinosaurs? You could assist on a fun, informational trip to a natural history museum.
- Do you have specific experience that could help girls make good value-based decisions? Perhaps you might act as a discussion facilitator in a small group setting on health issues or peer pressure, for example.
- If you work in an office all day, how about an opportunity that gets you outside – on a hike or a campout?
- Preteen and teen Girl Scouts organize their activities around their interests. Could you accompany girls to a restaurant so they could improve their spoken command of one of the foreign languages they study? Advise them on skin care? Introduce them to an exercise program? Give them tips on writing letters of motivation and/or helping them to prepare for college or internship interviews?
- Get involved with the Adult Training program, the Neighborhood Management Team, or other organizational aspect to keep your professional skills sharp or learn new ones.
