AmeriCorps Girl Scout Leadership Experience Facilitator

AmeriCorps is a national community service program that allows Americans age 18+ to give back to their communities for one year. AmeriCorps members at Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) will focus on providing programming to youth members and helping grow our organization. AmeriCorps members will gain marketable professional experience and be given professional development opportunities throughout the year, both online and in person. If you are a college student, substitute teacher, or paraprofessional, this position is perfect for you! As the Girl Scout Leadership Experience Facilitator, you will coordinate programs and run short-term troops that engage youth in social and emotional skill development activities that increase their confidence and help them gain positive values and life skills, have healthy relationships, and seek challenges. This could include fun activities like earning badges, selling cookies, exploring science, going outdoors, and doing community service projects—all part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. The Girl Scout program serves girls and gender-expansive youth in grades K-12. GSSNE's mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
