Volunteering
Find your place in our team of inspirational women, sharing their skills and passions with girls in a local unit - all while benefiting from the adventure and opportunities guiding has to offer.
Here are some quotes from our fabulous volunteers about why they do what they do.
"I love volunteering with Girlguiding Gloucestershire because I had such a great time as a member of Guiding when I was younger that I want to be able to give other girls and young women the opportunities and experiences I had 😊" |
"I volunteer with guiding to give the girls a friendly environment where they can grow in confidence whilst giving them new skills and opportunities" |
"I have been volunteering with Guiding for many years it is so rewarding to see the girls grow in confidence trying new skills and making friends. Seeing learning something new achieving something, helping them work out a solution. You can pass on your skills to the girls. Most importantly having fun. The beauty of it is you can volunteer for as little or as much as you want. But I find it very rewarding." |
"I volunteered to use the chance to 'give back ' to Girlguiding some of the encouragement and wisdom, friendship and fun that I had been shown as a Brownie and Guide myself. Many friendships have survived the passing of time, probably due to the trust and shared commitment of peers and people I met through Girlguiding. . .thank you ALL so much." |
"I volunteer with Girlguiding because the girls I have the privilege to watch grow will be the future." |
"I love volunteering with Girlguiding because of the memories we make and the fun and laughter" |
"I love volunteering because I’ve met some of my closest friends through guiding . When you go somewhere new there is often a Guider at hand. |
"I volunteer because girls need Guiding to help them grow into rounded, confident, caring people. We can give time to each girl (and leader) to help them travel on their own journey to their tomorrow. We give and get back so much more than badges." |
"I have been volunteering with Girlguiding for just over 5 years. Within that time I have built friendships, memories that will last a lifetime. Most importantly seen the girls within the units I volunteer with, grow, gain confidence, make new friends and have amazing adventures." |
"I volunteer in Girlguiding as it gives me the opportunity sharing fun times with the girls, seeing them grow in confidence and trying new activities. Personally I have gained so much, including taking girls on international adventures and made so many new friends across the UK." |
"I love volunteering with guiding because it’s amazing how much of a positive influence one session a week can have. No phones and everything from cooking to fire lighting, walking in the dark and litter picking! Even Yoga outside! It’s amazing to see a ten year old from Brownies bloom into a confident 14 year old Guide."
