Are you interested in important global issues such as caring for the
environment, gender equality, educational access for girls, ending
child marriage, and more? Then the Global Citizenship program is the
right fit for you! This series provides an opportunity to explore
global themes that impact girls worldwide and looks at innovative
solutions to address them. Strengthen your problem-solving skills and
learn how to take action and become a changemaker. Over the course of
the year, we will meet virtually to discuss these important issues and
choose one to explore more deeply. Together we will plan and lead a
summit for middle-school Girl Scouts in the summer of 2023 to share
our knowledge and help them explore the topic, too.
