Adults
Want to make a difference in someone's life? You can. For more than 90 years, women
and men from around the globe have partnered with Girl Scouts
to help girls everywhere realize their full potential. Our volunteers are inspiring, invaluable, and
they have a profound effect on everyone they help. Quite simply, there would be no Girl Scouting without them!
Whether you have an hour, a day, a weekend, or more, the energy you share with Girl Scouts will
instill in girls confidence that |
| will last a lifetime. We're looking for volunteers who represent the diversity of the world we live in—men as well as women, senior citizens as well as younger adults, and of course our treasured alumnae—anyone who wants to help make a difference in the lives of girls.
Here are some of the different ways you can volunteer:
| Work with girls |
-
Be a mentor by guiding girls to explore their interests and learn
about possible careers.
-
Work as a troop/group leader directly with girls, leading meetings
and conducting activities.
-
Teach a workshop and help girls develop a skill that you're passionate about. |
| Reach out to the community |
- Speak about the Girl Scout organization to community groups.
- Suggest a service project that girls can do to help their community.
- Act as a public relations consultant for troops and communicate with
local media to get publicity for service units. |
| Help the local council |
- Provide administrative assistance and supervision in registering
participants for events.
- Offer secretarial services and assist with ongoing record keeping
and other paperwork. |
| Develop your leadership skills |
- Become a board member and use your skills to define goals, plan, and manage change.
- Plan activities and structures to guide the work of your local council, coordinate training and fund raising, and serve as a liaison with community organizations.
