Volunteers

Thank you for being a volunteer for Girl Scouts
Volunteers are critical to making results happen for our girls every day. One of the most important parts of the Core Business Strategy has been our re-statement of the value and contribution of our volunteers. We all intend for the incredible work you have done to date to be expanded and reinforced to meet the needs of girls for decades to come.

We need your enthusiasm and involvement now more than ever as we work to ensure that Girl Scouts continues to be the leading voice for girls.

What the Core Business Strategy Means for You
The Volunteerism Gap Team received feedback from across our Movement to inform the work we will do together to further strengthen our volunteer model. In order to continue the highest level of programs and experiences for girls, we must develop a nimble, state-of-the art model of volunteerism that mobilizes a variety of volunteers committed to the Girl Scout mission. In meeting this strategic priority, we want Girl Scouts to become the place where volunteers will:

• Join easily
• Learn continuously
• Serve in flexible ways
• Embrace the Girl Scout mission
• Feel appreciated and
• Achieve specific outcomes with girls

The Volunteerism Gap Team is focused on designing a volunteer system that supports the Discovery and Leadership Model for girls.

Are there answers to all the questions you may now have about the Core Business Strategy? Perhaps not, but we are mobilizing the expertise from across Girl Scouts - including you - to develop those answers so that we continue to be the best personal leadership development program for girls ages 5-17.
