Are you excited about supporting young women? Join us as a Girls Inc. Mentor for elementary 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. Elementary School Mentors will assist with a range of activities that 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 at two locations: Lowell Elementary and Emerson Elementary.
Lowell Elementary:
Mondays 1:10-4pm mentors will be assisting with study hall and academic enrichment with STEM fun & health and wellness activities.
Wednesdays 2:30-4pm mentors will assist with study hall and life skills development & health and wellness activities.
Emerson Elementary:
Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:45-4:15 mentors will assist with study hall and life skills development & health and wellness activities
Additional opportunities and times are available working with Middle and High school Girls Inc. as well.

Mission Statement

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.
