Training and Development
From the very beginning, Girl Scouts has been about developing girls' leadership. Now we're doing it better than ever with national, outcomes-based program activities that are designed to guide girls along a life-long path to… lead with courage when they speak out on issues they care about and take active roles in their communities; lead with confidence when they make the most of their strengths and feel empowered to make a difference in their lives and beyond; lead with character when they act with integrity and compassion, making decisions that promote the well-being of themselves and others; …as they continue to make the world a better place.

Recognizing Volunteers
Dedicated volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Each day we celebrate the accomplishments of our over 12,000 girls and it’s important that we celebrate our 4000+ volunteers too!

Conversations with Volunteers
Conversations with Volunteers are one-hour get-togethers with no pre-set agenda. The time is spent having productive dialogue about what's on your mind. These conversations happen with Pat Hallberg, CEO, Elizabeth Brooke-Willbanks, Director of Membership Volunteerism & Program, and Colleen Holmes, Chief of Workplace & Public Strategies. They began in November, 2012 and have proven to be an effective beginning to breaking down barriers between volunteers and "council". Conversations with Volunteers will continue to occur each month (excluding the summer months). Please join the conversation at a location nearest you:
- September - TBD
- October - Monday, October 7 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm, Amelia Park Ice Arena, Board Room, Westfield
- November - TBD
- December -TBD
R.S.V.P. to Brandi Barcomb at bbarcomb@gscwm.org.
Would you like to host a Conversation with Volunteers in your town? If so, please contact Fran Levine at flevine@gscwm.org.
Conversations with Volunteers are being used to guide decision-making at GSCWM. The lack of clear and concise communication between volunteers and staff surfaced as an on-going problem. In response, here are two new avenues for communication:
One Hour Monthly Conference Calls for GSCWM Volunteers
This conference call initiative began this past fall with Service Unit Managers participating. Beginning in April, this monthly conference call will be open to all Girl Scout Leaders and Service Unit Volunteers.
Join in at noon or 6pm for a one hour call.
June - TBD
To join call: 1-800-582-3014. When prompted, enter passcode: 73902839#
Questions? Contact Thais Frost at tfrost@gscwm.org or 800-462-9100
GSCWM's Volunteer Message Board
The Volunteer Message Board is a place to share ideas, ask a question, link to a troop across the council, invite girls to a service unit event, or share the great work your girls have been doing! It's up to you.
