For three 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 Emeritus 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. Prior to creating AHG, Patti served for 12 years as an active leader and volunteer in Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA). She was highly influential in sharing the gospel with her troop in West Chester, Ohio. In response to significant changes in the direction of GSUSA in 1993, the course of Patti’s life changed. As described in her book Why Curse the Darkness When You Can Light A Candle?, she heard the voice of God call her to start something new. Patti drew strength from her wealth of leadership opportunities, her love for her country, and her passion for youth development to take a leap of faith in starting AHG in 1995. Today, AHG stands strong with over 70,000 members globally. There are AHG Troops in all 50 states and 15 countries through the Trailblazer Program. She is the host of the one-minute Raising Godly Girl broadcasts aired on 1000+ Christian radio stations nationally. She is also co-host of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, specifically designed to equip, affirm, and strengthen parents, grandparents, and guardians in their journey to build women of integrity.
