Make an impact on the lives of Latinas in your community by helping us bring Girl Scouts to them! Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey is looking for bilingual volunteers who want to help grow Girl Scouts in the city of Elizabeth. The Service Unit Amiga will work to represent Latinos to the Girl Scout community and represent Girl Scouts in your community. You will help translate, interpret and connect Spanish speaking families to Girl Scouts. This opportunity is available throughout Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Somerset, Union, southern Warren, and parts of Middlesex counties.

DID YOU KNOW 90% OF LATINA GIRLS WANT TO BE LEADERS BUT ONLY 10% OF GIRLS FEEL SHE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER?

We need your help to change this! The Girl Scout leadership Experience gives every girl the confidence and personal leadership skills she needs to realize her full potential. Girl Scouts are more successful in school, relationships, and careers; and they achieve more for their families, their community, and their country than non-Girl Scouts. By bringing together girls from different cultures, Girl Scouts gives them a place to celebrate their own heritage and learn about others, which creates a sense of pride and understanding. Both qualities-pride and understanding-serve girls well throughout their lives.
