Designed to eliminate common access barriers such as cost and transportation, ConnectZ provides free Girl Scout membership, uniforms, and access to enriching experiences like camp, cookie season, and special events. The ConnectZ team builds trust and increases visibility by cultivating relationships with communities of color, ensuring more families see themselves reflected and valued in the Girl Scout experience.
