Become a Volunteer

Be the role model she'll always remember.

As a volunteer, you’ll introduce girls to new experiences that show them they’re capable of more than they ever imagined.

As a Girl Scout volunteer, you have a direct impact in changing the life of a girl. You can be a role model she will always remember; helping her find her spark and watching her as she empowers herself with the skills she needs to thrive and succeed. You also have the opportunity to network with other volunteers and belong to a powerful sisterhood of adults who believe a single girl can change the world.

Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, volunteering with Girl Scouts is flexible and fun!
