The Girl Scouts Live Well Initiative (GSLWI) will focus on mental health, financial health, physical health, and self-discovery health (S.T.E.A.M Curriculum) for the girls who need it most. At the end of the first program year, the AmeriCorps members will be responsible for assisting Girl Scouts of GCNWI to alleviate poverty by expanding health education while prioritizing investment in the most underserved individuals and communities in Chicago and Northwest Indiana. State and National members will do this by assisting Girl Scouts GCNWI with the “Starter Troop” program model. “Starter Troops” are typically led by a facilitator or AmeriCorps VISTA member for 4-6 meetings before transitioning to volunteer leadership. During these initial meetings, facilitators or VISTA members will provide Girl Scout programming to new girl members while identifying, nurturing, and mentoring potential volunteer leaders. When a volunteer cannot be recruited for many reasons such as, parents working more than one job or school communities not having good parent engagement. State and National members step up to deliver in/out of school programming for girls and families most in need.
