Community Outreach
Every girl deserves the opportunity to change the world.
GSSEM's Girl Empowerment Program (GEP) gives girls a full Girl Scout experience during regular school hours.
The girls belong to troops, take field trips, earn badges, and sell cookies—but they do so during school hours to eliminate the transportation barrier that after-school meetings require.

GEP Activities
Bring the GEP to Your School
Due to funding restrictions, the Girl Empowerment Program (GEP) is only available for schools and organizations in Detroit, Downriver, Flint, Pontiac, or Port Huron. If your school already has an active, volunteer-led troop, we can't begin a new troop.
For information on how to get GEP started at your location, please email Tiffiny Griffin, Deputy Chief Program Officer, at tgriffin@gssem.org.
