Since its beginning in 1912,
Girl Scouting has responded to the changing
needs of girls and their adult leaders.
New program activities and resources have
been developed to keep pace with today’s
girls. While changes happen to better serve
the girls, there must also be corresponding
changes to support the infrastructure of
the Girl Scout membership.
GSSJC’s membership department has
developed new and fresh volunteer initiatives,
designed to support and expand the services
provided to our Council’s ever growing
girl and adult membership. These contemporary
approaches are generating excitement and
creativity. They also are providing new
volunteer opportunities for forward-thinking
individuals who thrive on the challenge
of setting innovative ideas into motion.
Perhaps you can see yourself in a spot
that’s suitable for your skills and
talents!
§ Membership Communications
Team (MCT)
This is the perfect position for the volunteer
who is looking for a place to put their
journalistic skills to work. Three to six
volunteers are needed to identify, research,
and write membership articles for The Golden
Link. In addition, the MCT will assist in
editing and producing information and support
for internal and external audiences that
visit the membership section of our Council
Web site. Opportunities to work on special
promotional |
writing projects will be assigned
to this team also. Team meetings will be held
on an as needed basis - work for this group
is largely done via the magic of technology…the
computer and the Internet!
§ Volunteers-4-Volunteers
One can safely predict that the adult audience
attending the school recruitment rally will
consist of parents and legal guardians.
How do we attract other adults who may be
interested in becoming Girl Scout volunteers?
One solution is to form a team of experienced
Girl Scout volunteers to design new and
creative ways to get the Girl Scout message
to adults who have never heard it. The goals
of Volunteers-4-Volunteers include, but
are not limited to:
– identifying and delivering recruitment
presentations to young adult audiences and
retiree groups,
– promoting episodic volunteer opportunities
to corporate employee groups,
– finding ways to recognize corporate
employees who volunteer in troop/group and
episodic positions, and
– developing adult recruitment materials
that appeal to targeted adult audiences
such as young professionals and empty-nesters.
Volunteers-4-Volunteers is looking for 12
resourceful and outgoing volunteers who
truly enjoy introducing other adults to
Girl Scouting.
