NEW! Volunteer Enrichment Program
We’re excited to launch the GSSNE Volunteer Enrichment Program!
The GSSNE Volunteer Enrichment Program provides personal and
professional development opportunities to adult Girl Scout volunteers.
Programs offered help build skills that can be used beyond the
volunteer role and deepen volunteers’ connections to the world around
them. Program listings can be found on the GSSNE
Event Calendar, Event
List, and are also listed below. They may be virtual and/or
in-person, and require registration. Most programs are free, offered
multiple times throughout the month, and space is usually limited so
register early!
Whatever your volunteer role looks like, we hope you’ll join us for one or ALL of the programs! All you need is a current GSSNE membership and background screening.
If there’s a topic you’d like to see added to the Volunteer
Enrichment Program or if you have a skill that you’d like to turn into
a program offering, please submit your ideas.
This
year’s program will offer 5 program topics throughout the troop year:
