The Girl Scout Leadership Institute-NYC (GSLI-NYC), a new Girl Scouts of Greater New York initiative, ensures that girls gain leadership skills and have significant access to successful female role models so that today’s girls can become tomorrow’s leaders.

GSLI-NYC was launched in summer 2013 and helps girls in 9th through 12th grades from New York City’s five boroughs to unlock their leadership potential in order to foster a new generation of leaders who act with courage, confidence, and character to drive systemic changes and reform in their communities and, ultimately, the world at large.
