Volunteer Recruitment Project
Need more volunteers? We’re here to help!
The volunteer recruitment project is here to support districts, divisions and counties to recruit and welcome more volunteers. We’re working across Scotland and looking for more areas to join the project now.
Why should my area join the project?
Our team of recruitment officers and lead volunteers will help you develop a tailored recruitment and welcome plan for your area. They’ll also support you to put that plan into action. That could mean helping create role adverts, promoting volunteering online or in the community, making links with other organisations, contacting enquirers or helping out with welcome and induction. Along the way, they’ll help you see what’s working well and not so well as we look to bring more people into guiding.
Hear from Karen in Airdrie about what it’s like to be supported by the project team
How do we get involved?
The first step is to contact a member of the team. Each area of Scotland has their own recruitment officer assigned to them. Or you can use our shared mailbox growth@girlguiding-scot.org.uk. We’ll then respond to set up a meeting at a time that suits you. While you wait to hear from us, you can also tell us about the recruitment needs in your area by completing our first meeting form.
What happens next?
Our project overview covers what to expect if you choose to join the project. It also includes loads of examples of the type of support available through the project.
