Leadership is not learned by reading manuals or sitting in a classroom. Leadership is best learned through experience. By teaching girls more than just skills, we can teach them how to continue to learn and grow long after they leave our programs. The following programs are designed to enrich and teach girls the skills of leadership. The programs are progressive and build on skills the girls have learned previously. If you'd like more detailed information about any of the trainings listed below, please contact Hlee Kue at hleekue@gsri.org or call her at 401-331-4500 ext. 1401.
