Our learning and development courses for GSMWLP volunteers equip them to understand and be effective in their new position, especially that of our Troop/Group Leader & Co-Leader. We encourage all volunteers to familiarize themselves with our organization by completing the GSUSA on-line orientation. We do however require that both Leader & Co-Leader attend Council Basics for the Troop Module as well as complete the Leadership Essentials course either by self-study, or an in person course, preferably within the first three months the troop or group is organized. But that's just the beginning of resources and support available to our valued volunteers! We offer a wide variety of other courses, workshops, tools, mentors and more. We belive that this aids in preparing our volunteers with the knowledge and skills so girls in our communities can build courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place.
