Suburban Propane recently partnered with Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey and the Women in Trucking Association to host “Trucks are for Girls: Fueling the Future”, an event showing girls careers in energy and transportation.
The event was held in Whippany at Suburban Propane’s headquarters and featured information sessions on science, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and learning of Suburban Propane’s use of clean energy solutions.
Highlights included a behind-the-scenes look at Suburban Propane’s operations, climbing aboard a propane delivery truck, and testing skills on a state-of-the-art driving simulator in the Women in Trucking Association’s WITney trailer.
Girl Scouts also joined career chats with women leaders from Suburban Propane in areas such as technology, accounting, marketing, and legal. In another hands-on activity, Girl Scouts collaborated to develop cause-driven cookie campaigns, blending entrepreneurship with community impact.
Suburban Propane VP Fran Cleffi praised the partnership.
“Suburban Propane is proud to partner with the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey to inspire the next generation of innovators, leaders, and changemakers,” she said. “Through Trucks are for Girls: Fueling the Future, we hope to empower young girls to see themselves in industries that are driving America’s energy transformation and to help them build the confidence to pursue any career they choose.”
This partnership is part of SuburbanCares, Suburban Propane’s national community outreach initiative that supports education, youth empowerment, and local engagement across its 42-state footprint.
