Our adult volunteers are inspiring, invaluable and have a profound effect upon everyone they help; they are the heart and soul of this organization. Research shows that the influence one caring adult has on a child will last a lifetime. Helping girls grow strong is a fulfilling and inspiring challenge, and whether you have an hour, a day, a weekend, or more, the energy you bring to Girl Scouts instills confidence that will indeed last a lifetime.

We seek volunteers who represent the diversity of the world in which we live – men as well as women, senior citizens as well as younger adults, people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, and of course our treasured alumnae – anyone who wants to help make a difference in the lives of girls. And just ask any of the more than 944,000 Girl Scout volunteers nation-wide who will tell you that Girl Scouts also gives them something in return. It will enhance your skills, teach you something new, help you build community, make contacts and rediscover your own potential; inspiring for both you and the girls whom you will influence with your experience and wisdom.

How can you be more involved? You may already be involved in the life of a girl as a parent. Parents are as essential to Girl Scouting as the leaders or co-leaders of a troop. But there are many other ways for you to become active in scouting. You could be a school organizer or cookie manager, a program consultant or serve on a task force. Girl Scouts seek speakers and sponsors, and there are opportunities for you to develop your leadership skills working ‘behind the scenes’ at Girl Scouts or in the public eye as a liaison to the community. Whatever you want to contribute, we will make your Girl Scout experience rewarding by providing you with the necessary training and support.

Thank you. Together we are making the world a better place.
