Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England gets $75K donation from Amica Companies Foundation

Posted

Girls Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) received a $75,000 donation from Amica Companies Foundation during a check presentation held recently at GSSNE’s new headquarters in Warwick.

The donation will help establish the Girl Leadership Experience Center, a girl-led hub of creativity, connectivity, exploration and inspiration located at the headquarters. The center will offer programming in six key areas: making a difference, life skills, travel/adventure, camping/outdoor skills, global citizenship and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and math).

The center is currently used for meetings and programs on a limited basis. However, through donations to the capital campaign, Girl Scouts are hoping to fill the space with interactive technology that would allow girls in the center to connect with girls at urban satellite locations, camps and throughout the world.

“We were looking for that first big donation, and we’ve been blessed with Amica’s support,” said Neil Stamps, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England. “We want to continue moving forward toward our capital campaign objectives.”

“One of the goals is to have state-of-the-art technology in the Girl Leadership Experience Center,” said Lisa DeCubellis, a vice president in the claims executive department at Amica Insurance and chair of Girl Scouts of Southeastern New Englands Board of Directors. “We want to build girls of courage, confidence and character, and we need the funding to support that goal.”
