GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program: Join local, artist Amanda Koss
and Alternatives for Girls in creating a one-of-a-kind upcycled
handbag using vinyl pvc banners from 2024's Grand Prix event!
The GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program, under the creation
and expertise of local artist Amanda Koss, is designed to be a
transformative program to inspire Girl Scouts to reach their highest
potential by recognizing and unlocking their inherent creative
abilities! By connecting Girl Scouts with working artists, artisans,
and innovative opportunities - the program fosters curiosity,
self-expression, and personal growth. In a supportive and empowering
environment, Girl Scouts will explore unconventional ways to impact
their communities while discovering their own unique creative
paths.
Created by artist and curator Amanda Koss, this
program reflects her commitment to empowering youth, nurturing
creativity, and providing access to the tools and opportunities needed
to achieve their dreams.
