Patti Garibay: Standing for God–The American Heritage Girls Story

March 01, 2022

I'm excited about this week's show Standing for God--The American Heritage Girls Story!

It was 1993 when Patti Garibay answered her Fierce Calling. A dedicated Girl Scouts leader for 12 years, God changed the trajectory of her life when she became the founder and Executive Director of American Heritage Girls, a Christ-centered national leadership and character development program for girls.

Hear what happened and the reason God called American Heritage Girls into existence through Patti and some fierce moms who stood for change.

I know what Patti has to share will encourage, inspire, and challenge you--so listen in while I have a chat with Patti Garibay.

Favorite Quotes from Standing for God--The American Heritage Girls Story...

More about Patti...

Patti Garibay

For more than two decades, Patti Garibay has been at the forefront of countering the culture by leading girls and women to creating lives of integrity. She is the founder and executive director of American Heritage Girls (AHG), a national Christ-centered leadership and character development program. She helps thousands of girls discover their true identity and purpose in Christ through AHG’s transformative programming.

Patti and her husband, Pat, are blessed with four grown children, three girls and a boy, six grandsons, and three granddaughters. Patti and her four siblings were raised by a disabled father who lived with MS for forty years before his death in 2004. His encouraging attitude of “why curse the darkness when you can light a candle” inspired Patti as she founded the faith-based interdenominational alternative to the Girl Scouts in 1995. Patti served American Heritage Girls as its first President and Executive Director. She also served as a volunteer Unit Leader for her AHG Troop for nine years.
