LEARNS Act
|
Older girls like to give back to the community and enjoy doing Take Action and community service projects. Because of the LEARNS Act, Arkansas high school students are now required to complete 75 hours of community service by graduation. Local school boards and administration are encouraged to establish endorsed volunteer sites and partnerships within the community.
If we can help your Seniors or Ambassadors fulfill these requirements through their Girl Scout activities, please connect us with the school administrator in charge of these partnerships!
