If you are in college — whether you are living away from home in a dorm or are at home and commuting to classes — you know how busy and full your life has become. Between attending classes, studying, doing research, and writing papers, you may feel you have little time for anything else. Add working to the mix or family responsibilities, and your life may be a hectic blur. Take one more thing on? You have to be kidding. But scheduling some time each month or semester outside of the classroom to volunteer as a role model for younger girls may be just the "me-time" you need to give yourself a much-needed boost.
What Are Campus Girl Scouts?
Campus Girl Scouts volunteer their skills and talents in program activities run directly with girls and teens or use their skills and abilities to provide services at school, in their community, or in their local Girl Scout council. As a Campus Girl Scout, you can volunteer for our council in the following areas including (but certainly not limited to):
- Event planning
- Girl Scout troop/group sponsorship
- Program consulting
- Project management
- Public relations
- Troop/group leadership
- Campus tutoring
- Task group and committee membership
- Recruitment activities
- Fund development
- Clerical work
- Mentoring
Whether you want to coordinate a health and fitness fair, run a science workshop, develop a Website, help publish council or service area newsletters, be a troop/group leader, mentor teens, or contribute in some other way, you positively impact other Girl Scouts.
Who Is Eligible to Join?
If you are enrolled in a college, junior college, university, vocational, or technical school, you are eligible.
How Much Time Is Involved?
You decide on a level of involvement that works for you. College students have many other commitments and their level of involvement may vary from semester to semester and from student to student. Some students may have time for monthly commitments, while others may be able to participate once a semester. To learn more, call 828-328-2444 or 800-328-8388 or e-mail webmaster@cvgirlscouts.org.
