Volunteer

alissbetsyweb.jpgIf you’re wondering what our volunteers are like, be assured that they’re not all outdoor enthusiasts with experience in crafts and working with groups of girls, by a long shot! Our volunteer group is made up of busy professionals as well as multi-tasking stay-at-home-moms. Some share their work expertise and skills, some a personal interest, while others enjoy going on outings or helping with outdoor activities.

Whatever your interest, we're interested in YOU!



Mentoring: Adult Opportunities

Adult support strengthens girls’ experiences, and allows them to grow in a safe, nurturing environment. Nearly 100 adults are already working within our very active Neighborhood at many different levels.

There are so many opportunities to plug in for a few hours, a day, once a month or a couple of times a year:

  • Accompany girls on an event that lasts a few hours. Interested in dinosaurs? You could assist on a fun, informational trip to a natural history museum.
  • Do you have specific experience that could help girls make good value-based decisions? Perhaps you might act as a discussion facilitator in a small group setting on health issues or peer pressure, for example.
  • If you work in an office all day, how about an opportunity that gets you outside – on a hike or a campout?
  • Preteen and teen Girl Scouts organize their activities around their interests. Could you accompany girls to a restaurant so they could improve their spoken command of one of the foreign languages they study? Advise them on skin care? Introduce them to an exercise program? Give them tips on writing letters of motivation and/or helping them to prepare for college or internship interviews? 
  • Get involved with the Adult Training program, the Neighborhood Management Team, or other organizational aspect to keep your professional skills sharp or learn new ones.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
