Girl Scout Volunteers Needed!
"I want to make a difference in the lives girls and young women."
"I want to have fun."
Do these phrases describe you? If so, you are invited to explore becoming a Girl Scout volunteer!
As a Girl Scout volunteer, you have the opportunity to have fun while teaching girls life skills that will help them grow strong. Using age-appropriate Girl Scout resources matched with the girls' needs and interests, you can plan and conduct meetings and
activities that enable girls to develop their potential, to work with others, to develop values, and to contribute to our community. Girl Scout volunteers are critical to the development of strong and courageous women!
Whether it’s just a few hours at one event or ongoing once a week we have many opportunities to choose from!
For more information please contact Maria at (408) 287-4170 x 232 or
