ADULT TRAININGS & EVENTS
Volunteer GO Team Opportunities
GO Teams are volunteer service teams that come together to move a very specific project forward for a short period of time. Participating on a volunteer service team like this is a great way to help shape the Girl Scout experience for all volunteers. 

We are currently recruiting the following GO Teams:
 
Kick-Off Event Planning (5 positions): Ideal team members are creative, positive, resourceful, and can lead or follow as needed for the success of the group. This GO Team's objective is to provide key insights necessary for the successful planning of the Volunteer Kick-Off event scheduled for August 2016.
(This GO Team will meet the 1 & 3 Wednesdays February - April from 12pm - 1pm starting on Feb. 17) Members attend in-person or via phone, initial meeting to be held at GSCV, locations may vary based on needs of the group. Pack a lunch and join us!
 
Volunteer Recognition and Appreciation (5 positions): This GO Team is best suited for volunteers who like planning longer-term initiatives, who are detail oriented, love to celebrate the success of others, and can clearly articulate ideas. 
(This GO Team will initially meet Feb. 12, 18, and 24th from 12pm - 1pm at GSCV). GO Team members may bring a lunch and join us or call-in from wherever you are!  More meetings may be needed later in the year and will be determined by the group.

Cookie Cupboard Restockers (10 positions): The most successful candidates for this position will have reliable transportation, larger vehicles, the ability to lift 25 pounds, and a deep desire to support cookie fanatics at every cupboard location.

Cupboard Collaborators (6 positions): This team needs volunteers who value customer service, can create a fun working environment, can accurately fill orders, and lift 25 pounds.
 
Thank you for considering offering your time for a very intentional purpose.  We can't wait to get started! If you are interested in volunteering for any of the above GO Teams, please contact Kelsi Ramdeo at [email protected].
