The Girl Steering Committee (GSC) is a unique opportunity for girls to hold a position of leadership in Girls For A Change. It is made up of approximately 15 girls, two women coaches and one staff liaison.

The GSC offers girls the ability to participate as a Girls For A Change Board Member or be a part of a Girls For A Change organizational committee. GSC members also function as spokesgirls for Girls For A Change and are trained for public speaking opportunities. Finally, the GSC supports the planning of events including Spring Into Action and the Completion Ceremony.

Applications for the Girl Steering Committee are accepted in the summer and fall of each year. The committee meets during the regular GFC program year from October through May.
