LIFE SKILLS BY PARTAKING IN GSHPA'S LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMMING, GIRLS ENHANCE ACADEMIC SKILLS THEY LEARN IN SCHOOL THROUGH TOPICS SUCH AS: COMMUNICATION SKILLS, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, FINANCIAL LITERACY, GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AND HEALTHY LIVING. GIRLS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT EVERYTHING THEY LEARN INTO PRACTICE BY LEADING A PROJECT, THUS EARNING A GOLD AWARD, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST AWARD A GIRL SCOUT CAN EARN. GIRLS CHOOSE A PROJECT THAT WILL HELP FIX A PROBLEM IN THEIR COMMUNITY OR MAKE A LASTING CHANGE IN THEIR WORLD. THIS PROGRAM YEAR, GSHPA WAS PROUD TO RECOGNIZE 60 GOLD AWARD RECIPIENTS IN AN IN-PERSON CEREMONY AT BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY. WE ALSO CELEBRATED 215 SILVER AWARD RECIPIENTS AND 375 BRONZE AWARD RECIPIENTS AS THEY PAVE THEIR WAY TOWARD GOLD.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2022 – Sep 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3MEntrepreneurship Programs
