Volunteer Leaders for Youth: Help us run GirlGuiding in Lower Hutt

Become a GirlGuiding Leader – Waiwhetu, Belmont, and Petone - Wellington

Have a creative mind, a sense of fun and an interest in working with youth? Join GirlGuiding in your local community and develop your own skills while helping rangatahi build confidence through fun, adventure and friendship.

What you’ll do:

• Attend and help lead a local GirlGuiding group’s weekly meetings.
• Plan the term’s programme with young people and other leaders.
• Encourage young people to try new things and take on challenges, helping them recognise what they’re capable of.

Who we’re looking for:
You don’t need to be an experienced leader. We’re looking for people who enjoy working with young people, bring encouragement and enthusiasm, and are willing to learn. Being reliable and working well with others matters more than arriving with particular skills.

Getting involved:
You’ll begin as a Trainee Leader, with leadership training, mentoring and First Aid training provided. Meetings take place weekly during school terms. You must be aged 18 or over and complete Police vetting.

What we offer:

• Free training, including First Aid and outdoor skills
• Access to exclusive partner discounts
• Leadership experience and upskilling opportunities in a variety of areas
• A chance to make lifelong friendships and a lasting impact
