Become a Volunteer
Be the Mentor She’ll Never Forget
There’s no better time to make a difference, and becoming a Girl Scout volunteer is one of the most rewarding ways to do it! Whether you’re leading a troop, helping with events, or simply showing up with a smile, you’ll play a vital role in helping girls become their best, most confident selves.
Just by being you, you can be the person girls count on—the one who listens, encourages, inspires, and makes them laugh. As a Girl Scout volunteer, you’ll guide them through new experiences, cheer them on as they chase big dreams, and help them grow into leaders who believe in themselves and the power of community.
You don’t need to have a child of your own to become a volunteer. You just need a passion for mentoring the next generation of changemakers. At Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana, we’ll give you all the tools and support to get started.
Join us and start an extraordinary journey of leadership, impact, and unforgettable memories—because when you show up for girls, you change the world.
