What's in it for me?
Making a difference to
girls' lives and helping them achieve their potential is hugely
rewarding. But there are lots of benefits for you too.
- A role in Girlguiding UK can certainly give your CV a boost! As
a volunteer, you could get involved with marketing, recruiting
other volunteers, raising funds, handling budgets and managing
large-scale events. In the process, you will develop a whole range
of skills such as communication and organisational skills, teamwork
and leadership.
- If you become a Leader or Assistant Leader, you will take
Girlguiding UK's Leadership Qualification, and will be offered lots
of other training opportunities at local and national level.
Perhaps you've always wanted to become qualified in First Aid or
learn about event management. Volunteering with guiding can provide
the opportunity.
- You'll have lots of fun! The guiding programme is packed with
activities and challenges, and you'll have a chance to experience
them along with the girls.
If you need any more convincing, have a look at what our
volunteers say:
'It's incredibly rewarding to watch a shy and nervous girl grow
more and more outgoing and confident at each unit meeting.'
'I've made some wonderful friends and met people from all over
the world through guiding. It's fantastic!'
'Being a Leader gave me the confidence to get back out to work –
I initially signed up to do it every other week. Now I'm
thinking of working with children!'
'It's so much fun trying out different exciting activities with
the girls. I'd recommend guiding to anyone who's young at
heart!'
'I drive home feeling absolutely over the moon and confident
I've achieved something great!'
