We work to expand career opportunities so that individuals Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) can work, learn, and earn to their full potential. We envision a future where people are celebrated for the skills and potential they have, rather than defined by their level of education. Creating this future starts with changing the way we talk about the 60% of adults in the U.S. who do not have a bachelor`s degree. They may not have a degree, but they have developed valuable skills on the job, through military service, community college or other alternative routes. We recognize them as STARs – workers who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes instead of through a bachelor`s degree. In response to the economic crisis, we are working alongside our partners to rapidly advance the three pillars of work: AWAKEN employers to the value of STARs through data analysis and communications campaigns that change perceptions of workers without a bachelor`s degree and elevate STARs` skills and potential. CONNECT employers with training providers and STARs through the rapid scaling of our online marketplace which will reduce the time, cost, and perceived risk of hiring STARs. ACCELERATE learning and investment by launching the STARs Pathways Collective, activating the workforce ecosystem to support and place 10,000 STARs into middle-wage jobs within the first 3 years. Together we can ensure that STARs are at the center of our country`s equitable economic recovery so they are able to achieve both economic stability and mobility.

Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital, with support from our dedicated adult volunteers, provides girls with a fun, high-quality leadership program. Girl Scouts opens a world of opportunities for girls to make friends, learn new skills, discover the world and explore science, volunteer, go camping and more. As the largest girl-serving organization, our main focus is on leadership development for girls. Girl Scouting has helped girls develop the skills and confidence they need succeed. From our earliest badges in electricity, aeronautics, and natural sciences to today’s all-girl robotics teams and cookie entrepreneurs, girls have challenged themselves through our skill-building opportunities, worked with inspiring role models, and developed lifelong friendships. We’re preparing the next generation of girls for their futures, ensuring that they not only have doors open to them, but also that they possess the confidence to walk through those doors.
