Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan

Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan celebrates all advancements in women’s leadership, and we congratulate all the women who ran for and won elected offices here in Michigan and beyond. Fulfilling the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character hinges on girls seeing and believing what they can aspire to, despite what society says is possible for them. GSSEM, our volunteers and supporters, will continue working to give girls the unmatched opportunities and experiences that help them discover and unleash the leader within.

We are proud to share that a group of GSSEM Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts just completed a months-long mentorship with the Michigan Women’s Commission. This program provided girls with an opportunity to grow as leaders and gain the confidence to go wherever they want in life. During the program, girls participated in branding sessions, learned about the different roles in advocacy, developed their own advocacy plan with a cause they're passionate about, attended unique networking opportunities, completed a career exploration experience, and much more. Thank you to all of the mentors for working with our girls and giving them this incredible opportunity. Thanks to you, these girls learned the power of networking and adaptive leadership, and gained confidence to participate in opportunities that will lead to personal and professional growth.
