As a member of our national Volunteer Expert panel, she regularly shared advice with the tens of thousands of troop leaders who read our articles every month. Deeply thoughtful with her editorial contributions, Denise had a knack for highlighting effective youth development practices and tying them back to successful Girl Scout programming. It was immensely helpful for adult volunteers to hear the "why" behind an approach--whether it was around amplifying girls’ voices, strategies for belonging, or intentionality in developing an inclusive culture within a troop—and see how they could implement similar strategies with their troops. Denise's passion for young people shined through in every conversation we had, and she made a real impact on Girl Scout troop leaders across the country.” — Teresa Abbate, formerly with Girl Scouts of the USA https://www.culturethrive.com/professional-development-convenings daily 0.75 2023-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6249b4ab472fb068c309068f/1655739853786-L466WJ404Q6VW6TRX3J4/SFAC+Presentation+-+Drawing.jpeg https://www.culturethrive.com/strategy-thought-partnership daily 0.75 2023-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6249b4ab472fb068c309068f/1655829953777-B78GYZW1L60LA5TOEH8I/2018+NSM+fishbowl+ICA+Boston+Youth+%2B+Jason+Yoon.jpg Strategy & Thought Partnership - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.culturethrive.com/creativeyouthdevelopment-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6249b4ab472fb068c309068f/2fcc071c-1a15-4795-83b5-60f6b5eaae3b/Screenshot%2Bof%2BSomething%2Bto%2BSay%2Bon%2BWallace%2BWebsite.png Publications Something to Say: Success Principles for Afterschool Arts Programs from Urban Youth and Other Experts.
