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.
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.
