Education and Outreach Intern (Western PA)
You do not need a Girl Scout background to apply, but Girl Scout alumni are encouraged to apply!
The dates for this internship are from 6/11/2018 to 2/17/2019
The Girl Scouts Education and Outreach Interns will be placed in pairs in eight Girl Scout Councils around the country to support Council program staff and volunteers in providing outdoor programs for girls. Interns will build the capacity of the Council by providing additional support in facilitating outdoor activities and providing pre-organized activities to increase opportunities for girls to get outside. The interns will work directly with the Councils, developing outdoor and conservation activities for girls and opportunities for volunteers to increase their comfort and skills in leading outdoor activities.
The Intern will also assist with developing a series of community-based events for girls and their families. Community-based events may include SCA’s National Service Days encouraging parents, girls and volunteers to commit one day to experiencing outdoor activities through environmental stewardship, and/or council-organized outdoor training events. Interns will also assist Councils in developing key benchmarks of success to determine if these strategies are increasing girl and volunteer participation in the outdoors.
