Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteerism is the lifeblood of the Girl Scout Movement. You can make the world better.
 
Girl Scout volunteers, nationwide, are more than 900,000 strong! Volunteer opportunities are plentiful. You can help with a troop by becoming a leader, troop assistant, driver, camping coordinator, or by sharing a skill. You can be part of or assist with mentor programs, coordinate events and activities, provide office support, do data entry, train volunteers, or assist with mail production, service projects, or fund raising. Just choose how you'd like to participate. Even if you give only one day a year, you can make a difference.
 
"I enjoy volunteering for Girl Scouts because I see first hand how I am making a difference in the girls' lives. I see how girls make friends in a positive and nurturing environment. Not only have I seen positive changes in their lives, but in my life as well." They are happier and confident.

Mary -Volunteer Troop Leader

The Volunteers Projects Committee members may not have much time on their hands, but have important talents to share with girls and other adults. Volunteers Projects Committee members are listed in a database at the Council Office under areas of interest, you will then be contacted as needs come up. Training may be available in some areas for those who want to learn a new skill.
