My Project

My school was extended the opportunity this year to start Girl Scouts. Due to the poverty rate at our schools our students are able to participate in Girl Scouts at no expense to their families. While the lessons and materials are provided through Girl Scouts I would like to continue to meet with the students outside of the scripted lessons to teach them life skills and expose them to so many things. The students enjoy participating in our after school sessions and they are building relationships with other students across different age ranges. I take pride in creating a space for students to learn, have fun and be open to try new things without judgement.

Meeting with the students outside of the two required lessons a month causes for use to create lessons and sessions for the students to participate in that we do not always have the funds to cover materials for every student.

Your support with this project will allow each scout the opportunity to work in a smaller group and have access to their own materials.
