Share your passion, have fun, and positively impact girls by sharing your time to lead or assist activities at events. Activities are already created and materials provided. Some events may require a specific skill like outdoor cooking or knitting, but many require no prior knowledge at all. Events are held year round and volunteering is very flexible. You can pick what interests you, specific dates, and determine how frequently you would want to volunteer. During the school year, a majority of events are held on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings and afternoons, with some events held on weeknights. During the summer, events are during the weekday and some Saturday mornings and afternoons. At many events, girls rotate through various stations; each station focusing on a specific project or skill that may fulfill a requirement for the recognition they are working towards. We need lots of extra hands to lead or assist at these stations. Event topics include environmental awareness, outdoor skills, the arts, health and wellness, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), business literacy and more!
In order to provide a safe environment for our Girl Scouts, volunteers, and staff, we ask new event volunteers to register as a member and complete a background check. Sign up today at gswise.org.
Volunteers are required to wear a face mask while indoors at a GSWISE property or when they are within 6 feet of others on the property. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own face masks but if they do not have one, a mask will be provided for them. We have hand sanitizer and cleaning products available in each facility, which are cleaned and disinfected daily. All GSWISE staff members will be wearing masks when working with girls and volunteers. Our volunteer opportunities are planned so participants can maintain social distancing and follow recommended safety procedures including current capacity limits per the county where each opportunity is located.
