National Internship Opportunity for Girl Scouts in Grades 8-10

G.I.R.L. 2020 will be planned over the course of two years by a group of 25 Girl Scouts known as the G-TEAM (girls together empowering and mobilizing). Members ("interns") will guide the overall direction of the Orlando event and have chances to participate in field-specific internships in areas such as marketing, event production, governance, and logistics. In-person planning sessions will take place in Orlando, Florida, and New York City, with all expenses paid by Girl Scouts of the USA. At the event in 2020, the G-TEAM will serve as leaders both behind the scenes and on the stage.

All Girl Scouts currently in grades 8-10 are eligible to apply. Applications are accepted from October 19 to November 19, 2018, at 12 a.m. ET.
