Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) received a generous $29,290 grant from Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. Funds from this grant will be used to support the organization’s Project Opportunity programs in Rockford, and Elgin, IL. The grant supports paid facilitators–who will conduct weekly troop meetings during school lunch periods and after school–as well as financial assistance towards Girl Scout membership for those children who might otherwise not have the opportunity to participate in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
GSNI would like to thank GSUSA for upholding the Girl Scout Mission. Our future community leaders have a space all their own, where their interests, their experience, and their leadership–today and tomorrow–is the top priority!
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast-to-coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves, as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges. They may want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois serves 16 Counties, including parts or all of Boone, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago.
