Alumnae Mission

Type of Alumnae Members
Retired Adults
Remember growing up in your neighborhood? Didn't it feel good to know there were adults around you who cared? Neighborhoods are not what they used to be. Imagine how hard it must be for today's young people, who may not have grandparents nearby to direct and guide them the way your family did. Girls in your neighborhood need that kind of special guidance. They need your wisdom about what's right and wrong and what's really important in life. They need you, just the way you are. Give some time to Girl Scouts and you'll get back inspiration—guaranteed.
Young Adults
Did you need a role model when you were a teen? Imagine how much you could offer girls 11-17. Girl Scouts need young adult volunteers, both women and men, who can relate to their interests and concerns. Based on extensive research of girls' hopes, fears, interests, and self-images are volunteer opportunities to help girls direct their experiences so that they fit her life. Not much time to share? No problem. We'll match your needs with the needs of girls. Can't commit to a regular schedule? You don't have to! Participate once a month, on weekends, evenings, during a particular time of year—it's your call.
