Volunteering
Want to make a difference in someone's life? You can. For more than 90 years, women and men from around the globe have partnered with Girl Scouts of the USA to help girls everywhere realize their full potential. Our volunteers are inspiring, invaluable, and they have a profound effect on everyone they help. Quite simply, there would be no Girl Scouting without them!
Whether you have an hour, a day, a weekend, or more, the energy you share with Girl Scouts will instill in girls confidence that will last a lifetime. We're looking for volunteers who represent the diversity of the world we live in—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. Join our more than 944,000 adult volunteers and find out how Girl Scouts can help you:
- Build community
- Enhance your skills
- Learn something new
- Make contacts
- Rediscover your own potential
- Inspire girls everywhere

Are You ...
18-29 Years Old?
Did you need a role model when you were a teen? Imagine how much you could offer girls 11-17 knowing what you know now. STUDIO 2BSM, the way girls 11-17 participate in Girl Scouts, needs young adult volunteers, both women and men, who can relate to their interests and concerns. Based on extensive research of girls' hopes, fears, interests, and self-images, STUDIO 2B is designed to be more flexible and girl-driven—a chance for each girl to direct her experiences so they fit her life.
Not much time to share? No problem. We'll match your needs with the needs of girls. Can't commit to a regular schedule? You don't have to! Participate once a month, on weekends, evenings, during a particular time of year—it's your call. Brush up your writing skills by contributing to your local council's newsletter; hone your grasp of HTML and design a group's Web site. You decide how you want to help out. Who knows—you may get college credit or build some great skills for your resume!
Retired?
Remember growing up in your neighborhood? Didn't it feel good to know there were adults around you who cared? Neighborhoods are not what they used to be. Imagine how hard it must be for today's young people, who may not have grandparents nearby to direct and guide them the way your family did. Girls in your neighborhood need that kind of special guidance. They need your wisdom about what's right and wrong and what's really important in life. They need you, just the way you are. Give some time to Girl Scouts and you'll get back inspiration—guaranteed.
Girl Scout Alumnae?
Remember when you were a Girl Scout? You chose projects, met goals, and made friends along the way. You can create new opportunities that will build memories for today's girls by volunteering at a Girl Scout organization near you. We want you to share your experiences and make new ones for girls. Adult volunteers assist in providing program activities for girls by working with girls, participating in community outreach, or lending a hand at council offices or events—whatever meets your needs. Make new friends, discover new talents and abilities, and help girls develop the same values and skills that you did as a Girl Scout.
