Volunteer Opportunities
Join us for a gsCommunity Photo Scavenger Hunt! Get your girls outdoors and in your community to show off their Girl Scout pride! Take photos of your girls in uniform or wearing our new Girl Scouts Change the World T-shirt (design to be finalized soon) doing what they do best: Girl Scouting!
It all kicks off the weekend of August 28 and ends with Join Girl Scouts Week on September 9 through 19. Connect with your service unit to participate in other special events and celebrations or write to Priti Singh at psingh@gsnorcal.org to learn how you can participate!
Reminders and Announcements
Don’t miss a moment of Girl Scouts as we return to in-person events, meetings, and activities! Maximize your rewards and renew today for another year of support and sisterhood.
Know a family curious about Girl Scouts, but not quite ready to join? Invite them to one of our many virtual open house events!
Consider writing for The Trailhead! We are always on the lookout for volunteers to share ideas and expertise, and always happy to create more resources to support your work. Got an idea for an article? Email kmock@gsnorcal.org.
Does your employer offer “Dollars for Doers"? Many companies encourage their employees to volunteer in the communities where they live and work—in turn, the employer will offer matching dollars for the hours. Inquire with your Human Resources department about your program, or check out this list of companies that offer this kind of financial support!
