Tohono Oβodham Nation: Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona received a $30,000 grant from the Tohono Oβodham Nationβs 12% grant funding program, to support their school programs in Tucson. The first-time funding will be used to help underwrite the costs of programs at Lawrence Intermediate School and Johnson Primary School, with an opportunity to rebuild the program at Santa Clara and Summit View elementary schools. The school programs encompass the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, which connects girls from all walks of life with educational, professional and community-service opportunities. Through interactive, collaborative learning, and consistent female mentorship, girls build confidence, discover their passions and talents, and acquire transferable 21st century skills.
