Community Give Back

1. Discuss with girls large companies that give back to the community, e.g. Target, who gives large sums of money to education.

2. Ask girls if they know of any local businesses that give back to the community. Share with the girls your findings about businesses that give back and what they do for the community.

3. Discuss what other things companies might give or do to help others. For example, the United Way has many volunteers within the community. Other companies may donate items such as food or

school supplies to people in need.
