Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are the council's most treasured asset. We strive to make the volunteer experience as easy as possible with adult learning/mentoring, leader resources, and council publications in order to help make your experience a memorable one. We also recognize volunteers with special honors who exemplify the mission and goals of Girl Scouts and further the work of the council.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois is seeking volunteers who represent our community's diversity-women, men, college students, working or retired professionals, stay-at-home parents, young adults, senior citizens, and people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, including our beloved alumni.
