Critical Issues Welcome!
Girl Scouts of Nassau County is committed to helping girls develop physical and emotional strength. Through our Critical Issues Initiative, we address issues such as bullying and healthy relationships, body image and healthy living, time management, and conflict resolution. We work with girls of all ages, parents, educators, coaches, and community members.

Become a Critical Issues Volunteer!
Do you know girls who have been bullied? Or have issues with friends, or body image problems? Would you like to help girls confront (or better yet, prevent) these problems? Girl Scouts of Nassau County, one of the leading authorities on girls, is looking for a few good volunteers to lead programs for schools and community groups.
Don’t worry, we will train and prepare you until you are comfortable to work with groups on these issues.

For Educators and Leaders!
Tip Sheets on how to address critical issues with girls and parents in your group will soon be available online. We are collecting suggestions from leaders and educators that have helped them deal with these issues. To share your ideas with us, please email them to Eliza Zipper.
