Volunteer with Girl Scouts

Change-makers. Trailblazers. Explorers. We're talking about Girl Scouts, of course, but we're also talking about the people who become Girl Scout volunteers.

Just like the Girl Scouts they guide, volunteers lead with their hearts and bring a playful sense of curiosity to everything they do. From volunteering at special fundraising events like the One Tough Cookie Mud Run to sharing your outdoor skills with girls at camp, you are showing girls that they matter.

Volunteering is flexible and fun! As a volunteer, you can create an experience that fits your schedule. Whether you can give a few hours, weeks, months, or years volunteering with Girl Scouts, you will impact the lives of girls in your community! Complete our interest indicator to find the right fit.
