Volunteers play an integral role in delivering the Girl Guides program, supporting Youth Members to achieve life skills as they strive towards resilience and self-development.

Each year volunteers contribute thousands of hours – worth millions of dollars – across a broad range of areas, from outdoor and adventurous activities to administration, special events, fundraising, marketing, maintenance and learning and development.

Girl Guides Australia acknowledges the significant role culture plays in keeping children and young people safe. Girl Guiding worldwide focuses on giving girls and young women a voice and an opportunity to build lifelong friendships and networks.

The Australian Guide Program places a high priority on girl ownership and decision making; youth members have the responsibility to discover, decide, plan, do and evaluate their own activities and goals. These core elements encourage those in Guiding to speak up for themselves and others, an essential part of creating a child-safe culture.

More volunteers are encouraged to support the organisation as there are now waiting lists in many regions for girls who wish to become members.
