The GOAL Girls Leadership Program (GGLP) has enjoyed an
exciting start to its first year serving girls enrolled at GOAL
Academy. We are now a proud partner of Girl Scouts of Colorado.
GOAL Academy Pueblo offers the GGLP Program face-to-face and
virtually and the program will roll out to girls statewide in January.
The program focuses on building girls of courage, confidence, and
character, in order to become dynamic leaders in our community
and beyond! Girls have taken the lead this Fall by
participating in a food drive, art exploration events,
cooking, archery, learning about Girl Scout history, and
participating in a hygiene kit drive at the Children’s Hospital
Denver, among many other community service events.
Participants in the program are now earning financial
literacy and entrepreneurship badges as they get ready to
create their own Girl Scout Cookie Sale business in January.
Get ready to enjoy some of those delicious Thin Mints,
Samoas, and Tagalongs!
GOAL Girls have created a Facebook Page and Blog to
share their leadership experience with the world. Take a
moment to connect with them here and follow their
adventures all year long!
