Lesley Rich

Girl Scouts promote Rich 

Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona announced several promotions and hirings. Lesley Rich was promoted to director of social justice. She will oversee social-justice programming for troops at more than 30 schools in low-income and high-need communities, as well as specialized Girl Scout support for girls who have parents in prison, who are in foster care and who are in juvenile detention.

Rich was instrumental in developing the Girl Scouts Beyond Bars program, which brings girls and their incarcerated mothers together through formal visits and Girl Scout programming at Perryville Prison.

She joined the Girl Scouts in 2010 and has been its social-justice specialist and social-justice manager.
