We're Guiders - it's worth our time

We empower young girls and women to be everything they want to be, and as a volunteer, you will help make that happen! Our volunteers support girls as they build confidence, develop new skills and become leaders in their communities. 

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 weekly basis, during the school year. 

 What You’ll Bring: A welcoming, imaginative and enthusiastic attitude. Openness, flexibility and a willingness to try new things. An appreciation of diversity and inclusivity. An embrace of the girl-driven approach to Girl Guides. The ability to understand, encourage and respect girls’ ideas and thoughts. Resourcefulness, dependability and creativity. A willingness to show your unique talents and skills. What You Need: All volunteers must have reached the age of majority in their province or territory. Pass a Police Record Check facilitated by Girl Guides of Canada. Complete organizational training components on safety, the role and administrative duties, as part of the volunteer onboarding process.

Volunteers commit to 3-5 hours per week for unit meetings plus additional hours, when required, for trips and events.
