FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	OUR G.I.R.L.S ARE GO-GETTERS, INNOVATORS, RISK-TAKERS, AND LEADERS. GIRL SCOUTS OF GREATER LOS ANGELES'S (GSGLA) LONGSTANDING PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY MAKES IT THE OLDEST, LARGEST, AND MOST ACTIVE GIRL SERVING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IN OUR REGION. GIRL SCOUTS BUILDS GIRLS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE, AND CHARACTER, WHO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. WITH THE SUPPORT OF OVER 24,000 VOLUNTEERS, GSGLA SERVES OVER 40,000 GIRLS IN GRADES K-12. OUR PROGRAMS IMPROVE GIRLS' LIVES THROUGH THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE (GSLE). GLSE ENGAGES GIRLS IN THREE KEY ACTIVITIES: DISCOVERING WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY VALUE; CONNECTING WITH OTHERS; AND TAKING ACTION TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. OUR NATIONALLY-ALIGNED MOVEMENT'S OUTCOMES INCLUDE SKILL MASTERY IN GOAL SETTING, DECISION MAKING, MONEY MANAGEMENT, PEOPLE SKILLS, AND BUSINESS ETHICS. EVERY ACTIVITY IN GIRL SCOUTING IS DESIGNED TO GRANT OUR GIRLS THE SKILLS AND TOOLS TO GROW INTO PASSIONATE LEADERS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE, AND CHARACTER. GIRL SCOUTS' PROGRAMS ADDRESS THE NEED TO NURTURE AND ENRICH GIRLS' LIVES, BUT ALSO TO BREAK TRADITIONAL FEMALE ROLES BY EDUCATING AND EMPOWERING GIRLS. OUR FOUR PROGRAM PILLARS ARE: STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH) EDUCATION, OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE, LIFE SKILLS, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. WE DELIVER HANDS-ON STEM EXPERIENCES TO DEVELOP YOUNG GIRLS' INTEREST AND CONFIDENCE IN THE SCIENCES WITH AN EFFORT TO CLOSE THE FIELD'S PERSISTENT UNDERREPRESENTATION OF WOMEN. WE DEVELOP GIRLS' ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS THROUGH BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL LITERACY, USING TANGIBLE EXAMPLES SUCH AS GIRL SCOUTS' COOKIE PROGRAM, THE WORLD'S LEADING ENTREPRENEURIAL PROGRAM FOR GIRLS, TO TEACH FOUNDATIONAL BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. WE DEMONSTRATE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, STRONG SELF-ESTEEM AND POSITIVE BODY IMAGE AND FOSTER PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECTING SELF AND OTHERS. WE ENRICH AND BROADEN GIRLS' EXPERIENCES THROUGH OUTDOOR ADVENTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS-A GIRL SCOUT CORNERSTONE PROGRAM THAT IS INCREASINGLY RELEVANT TODAY IN A GLOBAL SOCIETY CONSCIOUS OF THE FRAGILITY OF OUR PLANET. BY EMPOWERING GIRLS AS LEADERS IN ALL OF THESE WAYS, GIRL SCOUTS MAXIMIZES THEIR PERSONAL GROWTH, COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, AND POTENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC SUCCESS ALL WHILE PROVIDING THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE:	MISSION DELIVERY PROGRAMS: GIRL SCOUTS UNIQUELY PREPARES GIRLS FOR A LIFETIME OF LEADERSHIP THROUGH ACCESS TO THOUSANDS OF GIRL-LED EXPERIENCES, SKILL BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES, AND KEY CONNECTIONS. GIRL SCOUTS NOT ONLY LEARN INNOVATIVE AND RELEVANT SKILLS (LIKE CODING, PUBLIC SPEAKING OR BUDGETING), BUT THEY ARE ALSO GAINING THE GRIT, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND EMPATHY THEY NEED TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES THROUGHOUT THEIR WHOLE LIVES-USUALLY AS LEADERS IN THEIR FIELDS. GIRLS ARE INSPIRED TO REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THROUGH THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE, WHICH INVOLVES THREE PROCESSES-GIRL-LED, COOPERATIVE LEARNING, AND LEARNING BY DOING. THIS SERVES AS THE BACKBONE FOR OUR FOUR PILLARS OF PROGRAM DELIVERY: ENTREPRENEURSHIP, LIFE SKILLS, OUTDOOR AND STEM. GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM OUTCOMES INCLUDE: STRONG SENSE OF SELF, POSITIVE VALUES, CHALLENGE SEEKING, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMON PROBLEM SOLVING. THE HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT IN GIRLS SCOUTS IS THE GOLD AWARD. THE GOLD AWARD IS A TWO-YEAR UNDERTAKING AND REQUIRES A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL SCOUT TO COMPLETE LEADERSHIP TRAINING; DEVELOP A LARGE SCALE "TAKE ACTION" PROJECT THAT HAS LASTING IMPACT; AND DEDICATE A MINIMUM OF 80 HOURS TO PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION WHILE MANAGING THE PROJECT AND THE VOLUNTEERS. LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE SILVER AWARD FOR CADETTES (GIRLS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL) AND THE BRONZE AWARD FOR JUNIORS (GIRLS IN GRADES 4-5).
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE:	MISSION DELIVERY OUTREACH & VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS: AT GSGLA, INCREASING GIRL AND VOLUNTEER MEMBERSHIP IS A TOP PRIORITY, AND PROVIDING AFTERSCHOOL AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CRITICAL TO THE MISSION AND FUTURE OF THE MOVEMENT. GSGLA PROVIDES GIRL PROGRAMS AND VOLUNTEER TRAINING TO BEST MATCH THE NEEDS OF EACH COMMUNITY AND THE APPROPRIATE AGELEVEL OF GIRLS.GSGLA CONTINUES TO GROW OUR IMPACT IN LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WHILE CONTINUING TO ENHANCE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THROUGHOUT GREATER LOS ANGELES. TODAY WE SERVE OVER 11,500 UNDERSERVED GIRLS AND PLAN TO GROW BY 8% OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. BY REACHING MORE GIRLS, WE WILL HELP LOS ANGELES' DIVERSE COMMUNITIES MEET THE EVER-CHANGING CHALLENGES OF TODAY'S SOCIETY, AND HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THESE COMMUNITIES. OUR PROGRAMS TAKE PLACE AT TITLE I SCHOOLS, LOCAL COMMUNITY CENTERS AND PUBLIC & TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FACILITIES. IN ADDITION, GSGLA ALSO PROVIDED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ABOUT 6,000 LOW-INCOME GIRLS IN TROOPS TO HELP OFFSET COSTS FOR PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, CAMP AND MEMBERSHIP FEES. THIS ASSISTANCE ALLOWED UNDERSERVED GIRLS TO PARTICIPATE IN ENRICHING EXPERIENCES THAT ARE AGE-APPROPRIATE AND HELP DEVELOP LIFE AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS WHILE FOCUSED ON ENHANCING THEIR VALUES, SELF-ESTEEM, CONFIDENCE AND INDIVIDUALITY. AT THE SAME TIME, VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT WAS ENHANCED BY COLLABORATING AND COORDINATING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND CENTERS TO ENSURE GIRL SCOUTING BECAME AN INTEGRAL AND CONSISTENT PART OF THE COMMUNITY. WITH OVER 24,000 REGISTERED ADULT MEMBERS, VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING ARE CRITICAL TO THE GIRL SCOUT MISSION BECAUSE VOLUNTEERS DELIVER THE VAST MAJORITY OF PROGRAMMING FOR OVER 40,000 GIRL SCOUTS. GSGLA VOLUNTEERS ARE A DIVERSE GROUP OF WOMEN AND MEN, COMING FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS SUCH AS PROFESSIONALS, RECENT COLLEGE STUDENTS, RETIREES, AND PARENTS AND MANY EVEN GREW UP AS GIRL SCOUTS. GSGLA VOLUNTEERS GO THROUGH VARIOUS TRAININGS IN ORDER TO BE EQUIPPED TO TEACH AND TRAIN GIRLS OR OTHER VOLUNTEERS AT THE TROOP, SERVICE UNIT, REGION OR COUNCIL LEVEL. THESE TRAININGS, OFFERED MONTHLY, QUARTERLY OR ANNUALLY, BASED ON THE SUBJECT, ARE DELIVERED BY STAFF OR QUALIFIED VOLUNTEERS EITHER IN PERSON OR THROUGH WEBINARS. SOME OF THE TOPICS INCLUDE: INTRODUCTION TO GIRL SCOUTS, TROOP LEADER TRAINING (ALL AGE LEVELS K-12), OUTDOOR TROOP CAMPING, ALL ASPECTS OF THE COOKIE PROGRAM TRAINING, SERVICE UNIT MANAGER TRAINING, ADULT EDUCATOR TRAINING, SPECIAL EVENT TRAINING AND FIRST AID AND CPR TRAINING FOR ADULT AND CHILD. THE MISSION DELIVERY TEAM RECRUITS VOLUNTEERS, PROVIDES ASSISTANCE, INTERVIEWS AND ASSESSES FIT WITH POSITION, MONITORS CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, AND EVALUATES AND RECOGNIZES ACHIEVEMENTS OF VOLUNTEERS.
