2020 - 2021 PROGRAM GUIDE 50 2020 - 2021 PROGRAM GUIDE 51 Volunteers make our mission possible.

Stand Up for a Better Tomorrow. Be a Girl Scout Volunteer.

Girl Scouts makes sure girls see and have opportunities to reach their potential—not just to ensure they’ll earn better grades, make better decisions, and lead happier lives (though we help with those things too!). And Girl Scout volunteers are the change-makers who make it all possible. They lead the sisterhood that provides comfort and inspiration in trying moments—giving girls the tools to solve problems and bounce back when faced with life’s challenges.

In short, Girl Scout volunteers transform lives.

Bonus? The benefits of volunteering with Girl Scouts go both ways. As a volunteer, you’ll:

• Unleash the confidence that comes with being a role mode • Discover your leadership style as your girls discover theirs • Network and meet new people in your community • Build new skills and have fun as you take on exciting activities with your girls

There’s nothing like helping girls find their voices and use them to change the world. Contact us today to start the conversation. Your life will never be the same. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
