Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Badgerland Council has a mission to build up girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. We provide K-12 programming in the areas of STEM, the outdoors, life skills and entrepreneurship. At many of our events, it's Girl Scout tradition to exchange "SWAPs" which stands for: Small or Special whatcha-ma-call-its Affectionally Pinned Somewhere. SWAPs are a small symbol of friendship that Girl Scouts proudly display on their sash or vest. They can be a momento of a trip taken together as a troop, a memory of a time they tried something outside their comfort zone or just a way to say thank you for being a sister to every Girl Scout. 

We are currently in need of SWAP making supplies to get us through the year! We thank you for your contribution to Girl Scouts in Dane County!

With almost 20 boys waiting to be matched with adult mentors, we have an immediate need for male volunteers willing to be positive role models for kids! At the Outagamie County Mentoring Program, we work with the youth in the community who need us the most. We match kids with adults who help them out just by being a friend and spending a few hours a month together. A successful match is life changing for both the mentor and mentee! All of the youth in our program are between 6-17 years old and have been referred by a social worker from Outagamie County Health and Human Services.

Mentor matches spend about 4-8 hours a month together to develop a positive and trusting relationship the youth can rely on. Mentors expose youth to new and positive experiences that enhance self esteem and improve social skills. We find that many mentors enjoy getting to be a kid again with their mentee!

If you mentor with Outagamie County, you will receive all the training and support you need to make your match successful. We sponsor several events each year for our matches and also reimburse for mileage. 

Find and follow us on Facebook! Check out our website at www.outagamie.org/mentoring.
