ORGANIZATION: Goodman Community Center

Are you excited about supporting young women? Join us as a Girls Inc. Mentor for high school girls!

The Girls Inc. mission is to "inspire girls to be strong, smart, and bold" through research-based informal education programs that encourage girls to take risks and master physical, intellectual, and emotional challenges. Through a variety of activities and experiences, Girls Inc. equips girls to navigate gender, economic and social barriers and grow into healthy, educated, and independent adults.

Girls Inc. High School Mentors will be assisting with a range of activities designed to allow girls to explore new options and push themselves into healthy spaces outside of their comfort zone. In addition to assisting with these activities, volunteers will help set up and clean up snack, guide girls through transitions between activities and assist with tutoring.

We are looking for volunteers Mondays from 2:45 - 5:30pm and Tuesdays & Wednesdays from 2:45-4:45pm to volunteer at East High School.

We hold Study Table on Mondays from 2:45-3:30 for volunteers interested in tutoring high school level algebra, chemistry, geometry, and english.

Additional opportunities and times are available working with Elementary and Middle school Girls Inc. as well.

Mission Statement

Our Mission: The Goodman Community Center strengthens lives and secure futures. Our Vision: A community that’s thriving because everyone is valued and has the resources they need to be successful. Our Values: GCC is committed to creating and maintaining a community that respects and values diverse life experiences. Everyone deserves respect and acceptance without bias. We engage the perspectives and voices of our community and ensure they are reflected in our culture.

Description

The Goodman Community Center is not your average community center. As I get to talking with people about Goodman, they inevitably end up surprised. They’re surprised by how many programs and resources we offer, how beautiful our facilities are, or how many people we serve. Every year more than 30,000 people use the Center - some who come to one event, others who are very familiar faces here.

Thanks to our generous community, we just built and moved into a second beautiful facility across the street, the Brassworks building. We’re now reconfiguring and refreshing the Center’s first home on Waubesa Street, the Ironworks building. During this past ten years, we’ve nearly doubled in size.

Our staff are committed to learning and continually improving, too. That’s why each program uses a variety of tools to measure impacts for both the program overall, and for each individual participant. We use that data to constantly fine-tune what we do - and how we do it.

We’re glad Goodman is one of many organizations in the Madison area who are pouring themselves into making our community great - for us all. We hope you’ll join us. Because we know that every good thing that happens here is made possible by people like you.
