What if Girl Scouts Could Create and Build with the World?
Now, they can! The Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey has partnered with GLOMADO to offer hands-on, live, virtual workshops from over 60 countries around the world! Many of our workshops offer a fun and unique way to work toward earning badges!
What is GLOMADO?
GLOMADO (which stands for GLObal MAkers and DOers) is an online platform designed to build global connections and increase cultural competence through creative, hands-on workshops led in real-time by skilled artisans across the globe.
Whether it’s creating beaded jewelry from Ghana, learning botanical paint making from the Philippines, or making a macramé wall hanging from India, you can choose from a variety of unique and educational workshops offered by GLOMADO’s talented instructors.
**Specially-priced workshops for GSHNJ members are now ready to be booked!
