description	Didn’t get a chance to participate in last year’s councilwide service project? It’s not too late! Dive into Diversity is a patch Program in a Bag. Girls will explore cultural and ethnic stereotypes and broaden their horizons, discovering the traditions of different cultures. Girls will have the opportunity to participate in a simulation game that will give them a sense of what it might have been like to immigrate to the United States. They will learn about issues of racial and religious discrimination, gender bias and hate crimes, then learn more about the values and beliefs of cultures and religions other than their own. The service portion of the program includes projects to benefit new immigrants in the community, connecting girls with diverse populations near home. They will earn the Dive Into Diversity patch.
reserve	Your troop can borrow this packaged program, which contains everything needed to run it during your meetings, including instructions, activities, sample projects, shopping lists for materials and explanations of the purpose and results you should expect. The leadership team conducts the program at their own pace, so it is perfectly suited to the level and abilities of the girls. The program is available on loan, free of charge, from the Service Center. If you notify us ahead of time, we can deliver to your next Service Unit meeting. To reserve, submit an online request form, or email Lola Furtado.
