Community Program Connections toggle arrow

Community Program Connections

Our Community Program Connections provides additional Girl Scout experience opportunities for girls and troops throughout our nine counties. These businesses and organizations feature programs designed to appeal to a wide array of interests, including STEM, art, animals, and many more. Even better, you work directly with these collaborators to determine the specific program and date that fits your schedule.

Check out the programs and get started planning your year with our Community Partner Connection! If you have additional questions, the organization associated with the program is your best point of contact. They can answer your inquiries related to pricing, hours, program adjustments, and more.

We do not recommend printing this repository as it is updated often with new opportunities and contact information.

Disclaimer

Please remember that these opportunities are not Girl Scout-sponsored events, so you will need to meet all safety requirements laid out in Safety Activity Checkpoints.

If you know of an organization/business that works with Girl Scouts, please let us know! Complete application here.

These programs are operated exclusively by the organizations and are not associated with any activity sponsored by the Girl Scouts of Western New York.
