Posting on behalf of GirlGuiding New Zealand, who are looking for additional volunteers in the Papanui area in order sustain their active units:
“Girl Guiding NZ is looking for fun, energetic leaders that will provide positive support to girls aged 5-17 years old while delivering exciting programmes once a week. Group meetings run for up to 2 hours once a week during school terms. We have developed an amazing programme that uses fun, adventure and friendship to build girls’ confidence and life skills to help grow the next generation of female leaders. All support and training is provided by a dedicated team to help you do a great job. You can choose the age group you work with and you can take on a level of commitment that suits. You just need to bring a drive and a passion to empower girls and lead them towards a bright future! If this sounds like you, find out more information here:
