Volunteer Opportunities

Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa is always looking for volunteers who are committed to our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. 

There are endless, flexible ways to participate as a volunteer.  You can work directly with girls or indirectly by supporting the adults who do.
 

Here are some specific needs that we currently have in our council:

Cookie Program Data Entry: Three days worth of work to come to the Des Moines Leadership Center.  Job is to help with data entry for Cookie Dough into an Excel spreadsheet.  Looking for volunteers immediately.

B.I.G. Registration Table: 6 -7 individuals to assist with registration at B.I.G.  Working from 8:30 - 10:30 on March 31.  Registration will be into a computer system.

Community Chair: Works with local volunteers to ensure the delivery of program to girls and support to volunteers in their area. Recruits and manages a community team to help carry out the functions of the community. Assists with and recruits adult volunteers to provide the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls in the area.

Council Trainers: This session will provide you with the information necessary to facilitate Council sponsored learning sessions for Leaders/Co-Leaders.

Relational Aggression (Friendship Power) Facilitators: You will facilitate learning sessions for Troop Leaders/Co-Leaders to provide them with tools and information necessary to work with girls who are faced with relational aggression or bullying.

Troop Leader/Co-Leader: Works directly with girls helping them to develop their leadership skills on an individual or a group basis. The Leader/Co-leader will possess the enthusiasm and ability to generate girls’ interests and curiosities about the ways that they can discover themselves, connect with others and take action to make the world a better place through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
