Our grantee partners are doing incredible work in the community - advancing an equitable, just, and vibrant Central Jersey Shore. We believe in the sharing of stories, learnings, and accomplishments of people, organizations, and community. Each week, we will highlight a grantee partner who we have funded in the prior quarter. Please visit their websites and learn more about how they are impacting the people they serve and the greater community.
Meet Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore!
The mission of Girl Scouts is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore serves 12,000+ members in Monmouth and Ocean counties. While participating in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, Girl Scouts gain important skills in four areas: science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), the outdoors, life skills, and entrepreneurship.
We are proud to have supported Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore's InnovateHer Academy which was a dynamic Girl Scout program this summer for Lakewood girls in grades K–5 (ages 5–12), blending traditional Girl Scout adventure with STEM, arts, community involvement, and leadership-building activities. InnovateHER Academy included transportation, uniforms, supplies, and a two-year Girl Scout membership! During this camp, girls explored science & engineering, dove into creative arts, got involved in their community, gained confidence outdoors, and made new friends in a safe, nurturing environment.
