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, at gssne.org/volunteerenrichment,
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
