My position focuses on specific parts of Girl Scout program delivery – The Girl Scout Leadership Awards (Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities. While working on Girl Scout Leadership Awards, I assist the volunteer Gold Award Committee and provide support to girls and volunteers as they work toward the highest awards in Girl Scouting. When my focus shifts to STEM, I work with volunteers and community partners to bring STEM programming to girls.
What does a girl’s self-portrait say about her? What can her own art teach her about how she looks at herself? GSNI invites all local girls in grades 4–5 to participate in Express Yourself at the Freeport Art Museum, 121 N. Harlem, on Saturday, June 22, from 3–5 p.m. Studying famous self-portraits as a guide, girls will create their own self-portraits by using expressive color with oil pastels and words that describe each girl’s unique personality. This program is designed for girls interested in building self-esteem and learning about art.

Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) serves over 18,000 girls and 5,500 adults in 16 counties in northern Illinois. Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Through a variety of leadership-oriented and girl-led programming, girls participate in age-appropriate activities in the areas of Healthy Living, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Financial Literacy, Outdoor and Environmental Awareness, and Community Service.
