3-5 hours / weekly
January-June then Sept-June
Girl Guides of Canada is looking for long term volunteers to become Unit Guiders in Red Deer.

We empower young girls and women to be everything they want to be, and as a volunteer, you will help make that happen! Our volunteers support girls as they build confidence, develop new skills and become leaders in their communities.

As part of a unit’s leadership team, you’ll facilitate fun and engaging program activities, like scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, games and more. 

You can choose to work with a specific branches: Sparks (age 5-6), Embers (age 7-8), Guides (age 9-11), Pathfinders (age 12-14) or Rangers (age 15-17). We have units in most neighborhoods, so you'll be matched with one close by to your home or work, that meets on a day you are available.

Volunteers commit to 3 hours per week for unit meetings plus additional hours, when required, for trips and events.

Successful applicants will complete the screening process immediately and continue to develop your skills under direction of a local mentor until June. In September 2026 you will be able to take a more hands-on approach to planning & facilitating the unit's activities for the upcoming year.
