Volunteer with us!

Whether it's a weekly commitment or and hour or two every few months, there's always space for you to join us!

Ways of volunteering

When it comes to volunteering with us, there is no one-size-fits-all. Your volunteering experience can be (mostly) tailored to you. Only have a few spare hours a month? Not a problem - why not volunteer as an occasional volunteer, and help us at events? Want a weekly commitment, but don't want to work with young children? No problem - become a Ranger leader.

When it comes to you volunteering your time, whatever you can give, we can make use of.

There are a few different options when it comes to volunteering and a few educational (and adventurous) benefits. Here we will talk you through them.

Volunteer Roles

Unit Leader

As an unit leader, you'll help run the unit. While you may not necessarily be leader in charge (LiCh), you'll still play a vital role in leading the unit team of helpers and young leaders. You'll be responsible for planning and delivering activities safely. But don't worry, all training will be provided as part of our leader development programme.

Supporting Role

If you'd like to volunteer but prefer not to commit to a regular commitment, then a supporting role is for you. There are numerous ways your role could develop. If you have a specific passion or are keen to share your skills, we'd love to have you share them with us. From sharing your crafting skills with our young members to managing our finances, there is a place for you with us, just make sure to let us know of your hidden (or not-so-hidden) talents. Find out more about supporting roles here.

Whatever your role, you'll be invited to make your Girlguiding Promise, just like each of our young members. Similar to our young members, your promise shows your commitment to Guiding, and is a special event that connects you to each and every guiding member across the globe. It'll be up to you when you make your promise, it may be in your unit, up a mountain or under canvas. It'll become part of your guiding story.

It's not all about volunteering. When you join us, you become a Girlguiding member, and with that comes some fun adventures.

For our members aged 18-30, Inspire provides an opportunity to meet new people, gain new skills are create some valuable memories.

You may decide to tackle our Queen's Guide award (up to age 30) - the highest award currently available in Guiding - or apply for an international adventure. Depending on your role, you could even plan an international adventure.
