Community/Area Program Leader Volunteer Role
Community and area volunteers serve as local leaders to a geographic section of the Girl Scouts River Valleys council. They provide local leadership for troops and Girl Scouts by providing support, training, guidance, programming and more!
Make fun happen in your community! You'll help plan and spread the word about local program opportunities for all ages, manage event logistics and budgets all while meeting safety guidelines. You might also plan day camps and collaborate with outdoor leaders.
