Volunteer Opportunities

Today’s Girl Scout volunteerism may surprise you. We offer many exciting, flexible pathways through which adults can participate in Girl Scouting. Whether you choose to work directly or indirectly with girls on a short- or long-term basis, you will get all the instruction, guidance and support you need to fulfill the responsibilities of your volunteer role. You can guide girls through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience directly as a leader or co-leader, help girls indirectly by training or mentoring other adults, or volunteer to work on large regional events, communications, fundraising, mailings, camp preparation, research or even engaging new volunteers.
