Admin Support - Youth Groups

Do you know your way around a database or spreadsheet? Do you want to support girls and young women to have fun and be empowered?

At Girlguiding they do everything from camping to campaigning! They’re all about girls and young women laughing, learning and having adventures. Why not join the fun and be an admin support?

They need volunteer admins to help add new members, contact parents/carers, keep records up to date, organise amazing trips, or help them get funding and keep their finances ship shape.


Volunteering with Girlguiding Scotland looks great on a CV, and can improve skills like teamwork, communication, events planning and IT. It’s great experience if you want a career in admin or IT. You can get extra training like First Aid, and they’ll help you every step of the way.
