Nonprofit Organizations And Non-Profit Organizations

They have Girl Scout troops and branches all over the United States. There are also similar programs all over the world, for example, there are Girl Guides in Europe. I think that Girl Scouts has a big impact on the world. According to GSHH, “Girl Scouts are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to embrace new experiences and overcome failure, to self-identify as leaders and take on leadership roles, to practice resiliency and persist through challenges, and have stronger female networks of all ages, just to name a few.” Girl Scouts creates strong girl leaders, which is what we need. We need to teach young girls that they are just important as any other person or gender. Girl Scouts also teaches girls to clean up after themselves and make the world a better place, and this will have a big impact on years to come as these young leaders grow up and help the world improve. According to the WAGGGS official website, “The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts reaches 10 million girls and young women in 146 countries across our five regions.”. With 10 million girls who are taught leadership skills, Girl Scouts will not only has a big impact on large communities such as the United States, but will have effects on the world by empowering young

Being a Girl Scout from kindergarten until the end of middle school has taught me various life skills. Firstly, it has taught me the importance of teamwork. Through various projects and activities, my troop and I have worked together in achieving any goals set by our leaders and other members of our community. This experience has also taught me life skills that can help me as an individual, such as first aid and how to deal with children. My mother was a troop leader for girls in grades third through fifth, excluding me from the eighth grade, and I acted somewhat as a co-leader for my mum when the actual co-leader was unavailable. I set up crafts and helped the younger girls with badges that I had already gotten in the

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit group which can be organized on a local, national, or international level. The NGO I selected is Free the Children. The short form used to identify it is FTC. The purpose of the NGO is to free children from poverty, exploitation, and the notion that they are powerless to effect change. The co-founders are Craig Kielburg and Marc Kielburg. It was founded in Thornhill, Ontario in 1995. The head office is located at 233 Carlton Street Toronto, Ontario M5A2J2, Canada.

As a treasurer, I had to deal with the rules laid out by Girl Scouts as well as the diverse backgrounds and personalities of other leaders. Our service unit was multicultural with a wide range of opinions, beliefs and expectations. Getting everyone to agree could be a long and involved process because the service unit functioned on an egalitarian level with everyone having equal say in decision-making. I would also say that the organization is very gender specific although they have made some effort to hire men, and they do allow men as troop leaders. Through it all, being sensitive and inclusive is a big part of scouting at all levels, and was greatly encouraged by the organization.

I immediately fell in love with the act of helping people and since I’ve first joined the organization I have visited nursing homes during Christmas time, collected donations for a hospital, and blazed a trail for my community. During my high school career, my fellow troop members and I organized a collection of toiletries for DASI, the women’s domestic abuse shelter in Newton as a way to take action. Being a Girl Scout taught me the importance of helping people and my experiences have inspired me to begin working my Gold Award, the highest level of achievement in Girl

One major controversy in effect today is whether girls should be allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America or should there be a distinct separation between the girls and boys. In the article, “Boy Scouts Face Renewed Push to Let Girls Join the Ranks” by David Crary, several girls across the nation have took it upon themselves to try and join the Boy Scouts of America. Some believe that girls should be able to join in order to gain the same scouting experience as the boys in the organization. Others including myself, believe that if the girl scouts aren’t happy with their scouting, they should take the initiative to make a difference in their own community.

The Boys & Girls Club of America is a national non-profit organization, which relies on the donations from individuals and business, and time and knowledge of volunteers to keep its doors open.

Girl Scouts of America helps all girls who want to change the world, or try something new. It might even be to try sushi for the first time. It was founded over 100 years ago by Juliette f Gordon “Daisy” Low. She started the first group on March 12, 1912 in Savannah Georgia. (Girl) The charity's goals are to first off build girls’ courage, compassion, and hope by different means and methods, like stopping bullying, or horseback riding for the first time, changing a girl forever. There are currently 1.9 million girl scouts, and 800,000 parents participating, and helping selling delicious cookies, which is approximately 1.4% of the US population. Many people think Girl Scouts only do outdoor stuff, but they’re wrong. Some troops are building robots to help with everyday needs and activities, like a crossing guard, or a chef. Other troops help stop bullying in school, like putting up posters and having an after school program for all who is bullied. (Girl) They still do outside stuff as well, like camping with no motor homes, as that ruins the precious environment, which help promote global warming. If at times, an American flag needs to be retired, the Girl Scouts are on the case. The people part of the group will do it 1 strip at a time, and 1 star at a time, all standing around the fire, so that the flag can be honored as it burns away. Well, now you might be asking how good this charity really is at making the item that controls America, money. They are pretty good at funding, reaching an average 86% of money management selling their

They are like the Boy Scouts except the Boy Scouts attempt and practice more "manly" activities like fire building and rifle shooting while the Girl Scouts focus on the more "woman" side of things like knitting, first aid, and managing money. This is what sparked the movement for the introduction of women into the Boy Scouts. The girls wanted to do things like build shelters and make fire. This leads you to think that Girl Scouts would be happy with the changes, but it is quite the opposite. The Girl Scouts want girls for the same reasons that Boy Scouts want boys. They need to be around the same gender to feel comfortable being themselves. Instead of allowing girls into the Boy Scouts, The Girl Scouts should work to encompass all the needs of their members, and that’s exactly what they did in order to counteract the assault by the Boy Scouts. "Girl Scout leaders said they were blindsided by the move, and they are gearing up an aggressive campaign to recruit and retain girls as members. That includes 23 new merit badges focusing on outdoors and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)" (Harrison 1). This act of social justice has done nothing to help the girl youth of America. Its only made the situation more political and has brought down this burning web of social change onto the young citizens of America. The social pressures that social justice claim to relive are only added upon when we force our youth to think about such rudimentary and absurd things like if they need to sacrifice what they want in order to be fair to every last irritated parent. Do we really want our future leaders to be so conscious of their actions that they can't do anything in fear of offending someone? " "See this badge?" a future Scout may say. "Got that for helping a little old person across the street." You mean a little old lady? "Nuh-uh. See this badge? That's for not misgendering." Great.

While each Girl Scout does not keep the income from her sales troop members see the direct benefits of their efforts these kinds of strategies help reinforce the broader purpose of the cookie program such as teaching girls valuable lessons in marketing and career training. The Girl Scouts specify five essential life skills that the cookie program focuses on developing goal setting, decision making, money, management, people skills, and business ethics. As Councils are shifting their focuses onto better business approaches and skill development, many are hosting sales training seminars.

The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of the non-profit sector by analyzing a non-profit organization. The organization chosen for this report is SickKids Foundation located at, 525 University Ave, Toronto, ON M5G 2L3.

Nonprofit organizations usually come about to help a social problem within its community or nationally. Just like any business there is a need for something and someone comes up with an idea to fulfill that need. If you look at the organization St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, it was started in 1966 by Episcopalian priest Jack Adam (St Jude’s Ranch, 2016). He did not have a background in formal business or finance but he did see the need to help young boys who were orphaned and needed a place to live. Then, in 1970 Father Herbert Ward took the helm becoming the organizations Executive Director until 2000 (St Jude’s Ranch, 2016). During this time St. Jude’s Ranch for Children became one of Southern Nevada’s

I believe that serving others is increasingly important in an age where people seem to value putting themselves before others. Through my early involvement in the Girl Scouts of America, service and volunteering has always been a very prominent and important part of my life. Being a girl scout requires you to take on and participate in many different community service projects. These activities included providing support at the Ronald McDonald House, raising money for children with cancer and collecting donations for food banks and animal shelters. As a member of the Girl Scouts, I earned the Bronze, Silver, Silver Trefoil, and Gold Awards. These awards were all earned by participating in service projects and volunteering.

The Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA are both nonprofit organizations that can be the most wonderful experiences in one’s life. Being a Boy Scout or Girl Scout can help the youth develop maturity and character, as they grow with age and enter adulthood. Through the process of volunteering and showing leadership skills, Boy Scouts of America and Girls Scouts of the USA are both life-changing organizations. One involved in any of the two organizations will create unity throughout their community and uphold a legacy. While the youth involved in one of the two organizations earn achievements and countless awards, scouting can be utilized to create an exceptional college admission resume. Although the Girls Scouts of the

Non-profit organizations do not belong to the commercial sector or the public sector, but occupy an intermediate position. It gives
