All it takes is the determination of one individual to step up and make a difference in girls lives with the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. As a volunteer, you’ll introduce girls to new experiences that show them they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. They’ll each find their inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-Taker, Leader) after all!
Benefits of volunteering as a Troop “Co-leader” with Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa
