Guiding experience is not a requirement for the position.

Although we ask leaders to be familiar in a basic sense with all aspects of the role, in practice, leadership team members will usually take on the parts that interest or fit them the most. For example, one may do PR and social media, another new member onboarding and parent relations, another first and welfare, etc. Also, there is the option to be flexible based on other priorities from time to time.

Our program can include science, arts, cooking, life skills, outdoors, crafts, advocacy, service, camping, puzzles, games, learning, problem solving, teamwork, leadership and so on, so there is a chance to both share your passion with young girls and women and to learn something new and challenge yourself.
