The Juliette Low Seminar (JLS)
JLS is an annual leadership development program that empowers an international network of girls and young women to be empathetic global citizens who value different perspectives and celebrate diversity.

Delivered in 4 languages – 150 participants from 70 countries get together to represent all 5 regions of WAGGGS. The program is facilitated by a Global Team of 80 volunteers and staff members.
