Youth Workshop Supporter - One-Off

Volunteering details

Do you have a passion you love sharing with others? 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?

Their different sections cover ages 4-18, so there’s something for everyone.


You could run a woodland walk, a kite making session, or a ukulele lesson. They could visit your stables, get muddy in your allotment, or have a bake off in your community centre kitchen. Whatever your passions or hobbies are, they’d love to share them with you!


Volunteering with Girlguiding Scotland looks great on a CV, and can improve skills like teamwork, leadership and communication. There are loads of meetings happening all over Fife, so you can get in touch with one close to you.
