Girl Scouts of the USA

Founded in 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is the preeminent leadership development organization for girls and the leading authority on their healthy development. Millions of Girl Scout alums across the country and the world have gone on to achieve incredible things and make a tremendous impact in fields ranging from public policy, medicine, journalism, and athletics to international relations, science, technology, art, and entertainment.

As a mission-driven organization, Girl Scouts of the USA champions girls as they explore their worlds, try new things, and develop the courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place. From stargazing during a first overnight camping trip to building robots, navigating a rocky hiking trail, working together on a community project, and learning about the importance of environmental stewardship, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can unapologetically be themselves as they rise to meet new challenges and discover the issues that matter most to them.

Along the way they learn the power of friendship, connection, and teamwork.

Girl Scouts are doers, innovators, problem-solvers, creators, and dreamers, and the GSUSA team is here to center, support, and inspire them, working with 111 local councils across the country and USA Girl Scouts Overseas to deliver our life-changing Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

Candidates are strongly encouraged to submit a cover letter with their application.

The Program Office supports the Girl Scout Movement by developing inclusive, innovative, and relevant national programs that fulfill the Girl Scout mission. The teams in this community are responsible for the full lifecycle management of national programs for youth and adult members, including stewardship of the facilitator/volunteer experience and the end-to-end girl experience.

The work of this office drives Girl Scout Leadership Experience outcomes that build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place across existing and evolving delivery models. Work includes development and publication of program content across content areas including outdoor, life skills, entrepreneurship, STEM, global citizenship, travel, and leadership awards; cultivation of national program partnerships; and adult support and training.

The teams work closely with all other GSUSA communities to bring an exceptional experience to our members and to ensure a vibrant, sustainably growing movement offering inclusive, innovative programs and partnerships.
