Media Mentor role

Being a Media Mentor allows Girl Scouts to step into a leadership position and is the highest recognition in our program! This role is available to Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors with at least one year of experience as a Media Ambassador. Up to four Media Mentors will be selected each year and can serve for two years in that role. Girls will work closely with the Marketing and Communications Team to develop workshops and content, collaborate on ideas, and offer a girl perspective on GSACPC’s social media content. Additionally, Media Mentors will be recognized with a Media Mentor pin at the end of the program year. 

Please read the roles and expectations for both Media Ambassadors and Media Mentors before selecting this option within the application
