Volunteer Orientation - Girl Scouts

Save to Favorites

Attending a volunteer orientation is a prerequisite for volunteering in many roles with Girl Scouts Heart of Central California. It is also a great way to learn how you can make a difference in local girls’ lives, and the steps to take to become an official episodic volunteer. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION.

Volunteer orientation runs for approximately 90 minutes and covers:

• GSHCC’s history and mission
• Volunteer application and requirements
• Policies and procedures
• Program descriptions and volunteer position overviews
• Expectations, procedures, and training for skilled roles (ex: STEM Center, Outdoor Adventures, Trainers)

Prospective volunteers may attend a volunteer orientation find out more about how to get involved; registered volunteers should attend orientation prior to their first volunteer activity. (Event volunteers do not need to attend a volunteer orientation.)

General GSHCC Episodic Volunteer Requirements:

• Must be 18 years of age or older
• Some volunteer positions will require individuals to complete and pass a background check
• Some volunteer positions will require individuals to become an adult member of Girl Scouts
• Other requirements may be needed, specific to the volunteer role. Please review these requirements on the individual volunteer position descriptions on the Girl Scouts volunteer website.
