Leadership Institute (GSLI)

The Girl Scout Leadership Institute (GSLI) equips high school girls to pursue higher education and exposes them to a variety of career opportunities through corporate visits and access to female role models that empower them to positively impact their communities now and in the future.

Summer is here, and even though we aren’t currently offering in-person programming, exciting options still exist for our older girls. Please see below for programs coming soon:

Virtual College Knowledge Badge Workshops (June-July): June 15, 17, 29; July 1, 13, 15
3-4 p.m., $15 for all sessions

Join us for a series of online sessions to earn the College Knowledge badge. Facilitated by some of our young alumnae Gold Award Girl Scouts, the sessions will help older Girl Scouts learn what to consider about your college selection, the admissions process, finances, standardized tests, resumes and essays.

Sessions will be interactive with girls having time to ask questions throughout. Girls must attend a minimum of 4 of the 6 sessions to earn the badge. If this requirement is met, GXNETX will provide the badge. The financial session will be available to both girls and their parents, specific date to be determined from ones listed above. A special session for 2020 high school graduates and incoming high school seniors will provide girls with the opportunity to ask the experts how to prepare for college in the fall.

Topic areas could include but are not limited to: dorm living, roommates, student organizations Greek life, mental health, internships, study abroad programs, and academics.
