Calling All Parents!

“In Girlguiding Leeds there is something for everyone whatever their age or ability. We want to help the girls and young women of Leeds become their own person, to learn to make their own decisions; discover their true potential and achieve far more than they ever expected.” Louise Flynn, County Commissioner

Volunteering with us isn’t just about campfires and helping girls to get their next badge – although those are special moments that we all share. It’s about empowering girls and young women and giving them the opportunity to experience new things.  It’s being a role model and helping girls to realise their full potential. It’s about sharing and developing your own skills too.

Working with young people and other volunteers helps develop valuable, transferable skills like event planning, time management, leadership and budgeting.

You choose the volunteer role that matches your skills and time. Then we’ll help you build skills with training opportunities suited to your role that make your CV stand out. Take our leader development programme, become a trained first aider or get qualified for outdoor activities such as climbing and kayaking.

How can you get involved?

There are many ways you can get involved with Girlguiding. You might want to have adventures with girls, support other volunteers, or just help when you can. Whatever you’re looking for, we’ve got the role for you!
