Girl Entrepreneurship & Retail Coordinator

About Us:

For over 100 years, Girl Scouts has helped girls discover their strengths, grow their confidence, and become leaders in their communities. From our earliest badges in electricity, aviation, and natural sciences to today’s all-girl robotics teams and cookie entrepreneurs, girls have challenged themselves through skill-building opportunities, connected with inspiring role models, and built lifelong friendships.

If you are passionate about making a difference, want to inspire the next generation of leaders, and are excited to support girls as they develop courage, confidence, and character, Girl Scouts of Alaska is hiring a Girl Entrepreneurship & Retail Coordinator based in our Anchorage office.
