Corporate Partnership Program
Invest in Girls. Change the World. Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey’s Corporate Partnership Program provides an opportunity for businesses such as yours to invest in our future workforce. Since 1912, the mission of Girl Scouts has been to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouting has a strong, positive impact on girls, helping them develop into citizens who are responsible, caring, and engaged. At Girl Scouts, they explore their strengths, take on new challenges, and can always be themselves, regardless of background or ability. Supported by adult volunteers and mentors in our community, Girl Scouts lead the way as they discover who they are and how they can make the future a brighter place. Your commitment to Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey ensures that every girl receives the same opportunity to participate in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. We invite you to invest in our work. To assist in your philanthropic planning, we are providing an overview of our corporate partnership opportunities. By annualizing your support, your corporation can not only make a broader impact for the more than 18,500 girls and nearly 10,200 adult members of Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey, but increase visibility for your company as well.
