Girl Scouting exists to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. As the world’s largest organization of girls, we hone the leadership skills and provide the opportunities to make an impact. But it’s the girls who set the agenda. Girl Scouts Heart of the South serves over 9,300 girls with the help of 3,100 volunteers in north Mississippi, west Tennessee, and Crittenden County, Arkansas. Being a Girl Scout makes the world smaller and the girl bigger. More than ever, the challenges that face us are shared. Economic and social changes that once took shape over a generation now ripple around the world in a few years. Learning to connect and take action across boundaries of any kind is now a vital skill. In the blink of an eye, today`s Girl Scouts will take their places as leaders of households, communities, businesses, and governments. And they’ll be ready.
Hillel welcomes students of all backgrounds and fosters an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel. As the largest Jewish student organization in the world, Hillel builds connections with emerging adults at more than 550 colleges and universities, and inspires them to direct their own path. During their formative college years, students are challenged to explore, experience, and create vibrant Jewish lives. For nearly a century, Hillel’s network of dedicated student leaders, professionals and volunteers have encouraged generations of young adults to celebrate Jewish learning and living, pursue social justice (tikkun olam and tzedek) and connect to their peers and the global Jewish people. By participating in life-changing trips and campus initiatives, students learn to make a meaningful impact on the future of the Jewish people and the world while they grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. At the heart of the Hillel network is the Charles and Lynn Schusterman International Center, supporting local Hillels to ensure that we achieve our mission “to enrich the lives of Jewish students so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.” Hillel engages with and inspires the leadership of more Jewish college students than all other endeavors combined. We know that 90% of Jews in the United States go to college, and with a rich and diverse Hillel network, we are proud to be serving them at more than 550 colleges and universities.
