Girl Scouts is for girls. We believe in them, support them, and advocate for them.

With all the distressing news that is written about today’s children, it is reassuring to know that there are many girls who are doing good things for themselves and others.  There are girls who are already contributing to society.

Who are these girls and who is mentoring them?

They are Girl Scouts who are guided and encouraged by a group of volunteers - the backbone of Girl Scouting.  At Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana we have more than 25,000 adult volunteers.  Some are Girl Scout troop leaders and mentors, while others are Alumni Girl Scouts, VISTA team members, and even short-term volunteers.  Each, in their own way, is helping today’s Girl Scouts grow strong to become tomorrow’s leaders.

You, too, can make a real difference in the live of girls!  Volunteer for one of the many opportunities available at Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana and choose a time commitment and the grade level of Girl Scouts that’s right for you.

Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana staff will support you!  We provide leadership and vision in initiating, developing, and producing quality educational programs for girls, emphasizing pluralism and skill attainment.  No previous Girl Scout experience is necessary.  We will train you, giving you resources and encouragement to help you every step of the way in helping girls!  Find out more about volunteering to work with girls by completing an interest form.
