  2. Full Description

Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas & Northwest Missouri

Program Summary: 
The Girl Scout Outreach Program supports leadership and socio-emotional health development for girls living in high-risk communities through age-appropriate activities guided by supportive adults. Through skill-building activities, girls develop attitudes, behavior, and skills like confidence, conflict resolution and problem solving that are critical to well-being and becoming responsible, productive, caring and engaged citizens.  

Girl Scouts Outreach program will be three, eight-week sessions provided over the course of the school year (September - May), led virtually by  trained GSKSMO staff. In addition to providing leadership, Girl Scouts will also provide the necessary program supplies that girls need for their activities.

Over 27% of the girls served by GSKSMO are living in a low- or moderately low-income household. With the growing number of girls living in poverty, the Girl Scouts have continued to evolve to provide a range of programs designed to fill the gap when families or communities simply don’t have the resources to make Girl Scouting a part of their lives.
