As part of that plan, Girl Scout Juniors learn smart ways to spend, save, and share money. At this Charles Schwab workshop, Gi ..read more

I was recently very lucky to get the opportunity to spend two days at the 2022 Inclusive Global Leadership Institute (IGLI). Here, activists from around the world gather to share ideas and advice to re-energize and push their movements to the next level.
