Behind every girl who learns, leads and grows, there’s often a volunteer making it happen. 💙

More than 1,000 volunteers are ready to support as part of WAGGGS’ global Volunteer Pool, and that’s just at the global level. 🌎

Across our Member Organisations, thousands more volunteers give their time, share their skills and create opportunities for girls and young women every day. From local units to national teams, volunteers are what make Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting possible. ☘️♥️

This International Year of Volunteers, we're celebrating volunteers at every level of our Movement.

What is your favorite thing about the volunteers in your Member Organisation? 💬 ✨ Tell us in the comments!
