Through community collaborations, GSSI provides an extensive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) program that allows girls to participate in robotics competitions, build bridges, discover science & technology and explore opportunities in nontraditional fields to uncover their full potential. We are currently seeking volunteers to share skills and mentor girls through a STEM Series. Girl Scout Series offer short term programming opportunities for girls as well as short term volunteer opportunities for adults. These 4-6 week programs are offered in various locations throughout the council.
BFF (Be a Friend First) Series Volunteers
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois offers Series programs to girls over a 4-6 week session. We are looking for volunteers to lead the sessions. These take place during the school day, at after-school programs, and in other formats. Experience working with middle school aged kids is helpful, but not necessary. All curriculum and training is provided. The BFF (Be a Friend First) Series is focused on bullying, self-esteem and healthy communication. Opportunities are available in many communities throughout southern Illinois.
