Advocate

Contact your legislators to advocate for funding a project or initiative you are passionate about!

Through capital funding requests, the State of Ohio can support GSNEO projects and initiatives. With your help, we can educate our elected officials in the Senate and House of Representatives to advocate for the Girl Scouts in our community.

Working on a Civic Action badge? This is the perfect opportunity for girls to gain insight into local and state government that affects you directly!

Just call, email, or send a letter to your local senators and representatives asking for their support of this project.
