Girl Scouts behind bars & in detention centers

Girl Scouts is dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. It provides girls with a network of caring adults and teaches girls self-esteem and life skills so they will thrive and succeed in life. I especially admire their effort to work with girls who have been impacted by the justice system through two programs - Girl Scouts Beyond Bars (which focuses its programming on girls whose mothers/fathers are incarcerated) and Girl Scouts in Detention Centers (where the focus is on girls who are themselves detained). You can read more about these programs HERE .
