Position Title | Volunteer Group Leader (Unit Guider) |
Job Description | Our volunteers support girls as they build confidence, develop new skills and become leaders in their communities. As part of a unit’s leadership team, you’ll facilitate fun and engaging program activities, like scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, games and more. You can choose to work with girls in one of five branches: Sparks (age 5-6), Brownies (age 7-8), Guides (age 9-11), Pathfinders (age 12-14) or Rangers (age 15-17). Volunteers will receive access to a digital program platform stocked with age-appropriate activities and meeting tools, as well as training on how to deliver activities in ways that will empower and encourage girls. Units meet on a regular basis, from weekly to monthly, depending on the age of the girls. Volunteers commit to 3 hours per week for unit meetings plus additional hours, when required, for trips and events. What You’ll Do as A Group Leader: |

Benefits to Volunteer | Imagine a place where you can spark extraordinary moments for girls in your community.

Picture all of the fun, adventure and confidence-building moments – that’s what you’ll help create for girls, and for yourself, too. Girl Guide volunteers build friendships with other adult members and create fulfilling bonds that last a lifetime. |
