Renewable Fuels Association backs Girl Scout car care workshops
RFA is sponsoring three Girl Scout car care workshops for close to 100 girls, folding ethanol-blend education into hands-on maintenance lessons.
The Renewable Fuels Association is sponsoring three Girl Scout car care workshops that will reach close to 100 girls through Girls Auto Clinic and the Shecanic Foundation. The program pairs hands-on maintenance lessons with instruction on choosing the right fuels, extending RFA’s ethanol education push into an early consumer audience.
A related Girls Auto Clinic workshop series is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Home Depot, 200 Alan Wood Road, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428. That local rollout shows how the effort is being built out in the Philadelphia area, with the scout program adding a youth-focused layer to RFA’s broader car-care outreach.
The initiative builds on a partnership RFA first announced in November 2023 with Girls Auto Clinic to expand ethanol education to women active in car buying, maintenance and repair. Girls Auto Clinic was founded in 2013 by Patrice Banks, and RFA has described it as a female-owned, female-staffed shop that helps women gain confidence and automotive knowledge.
Kendra Coulson, RFA’s membership and marketing manager, highlighted the Girls Auto Clinic partnership at the 2026 National Ethanol Conference. RFA has also tied the outreach to E85Prices.com and E15Prices.com in its educational materials, linking fuel-selection tools with the same maintenance message.
For the ethanol industry, the setup is straightforward: three workshops, close to 100 Girl Scouts, and a familiar lesson about vehicle care carrying an added fuel-choice component. RFA is using the kind of practical, under-the-hood education that can normalize ethanol-blended fuels before a driver’s habits harden at the pump.
