The Girl Scout Outreach Program brings the full Girl Scout experience to girls in low-income communities. We partner with afterschool programs connected to schools, including LINC in KCMO and KidZone in KCKS, in the lowest income areas with a weekly in-person program for each program level. Our program emphasizes the key program areas for Girl Scouts (STEM, Life Skills, Entrepreneurship, Civic Engagement and Outdoor Learning) and includes field trips and camp. The girls we serve live in low-income neighborhoods in Jackson and Wyandotte County and face the greatest risk for substance abuse, violence, delinquency, and school dropout due to multiple factors associated with racial inequality as well as gender and economic inequity. The Girl Scout program mitigates these risk factors through experiences and activities grounded in best practices in youth development and linked to The Search Institute's 40 Development Assets, including positive values, social competencies, and positive identity, that are related to reducing risky behaviors, and increasing outcomes (prosocial behavior, leadership, and resilience). With over twenty-five percent of the girls served by GSKSMO living in a low- or moderately low-income household, Girl Scouts has continued to evolve to provide a range of programs designed to fill the gap when families or communities simply don’t have the resources to make Girl Scouting a part of their lives. These programs run along a continuum of support that ranges from providing direct financial assistance to families to purchase supplies and pay membership dues, to troops staffed and led by paid, trained staff known as Outreach Troops. We’re excited to have this event benefit such an important program in our community!
