Upcoming Events: ·         Women of Distinction o   We have had some questions about Girl Auction Runners.  This year we will be doing a few new things at our event!  One of them is an online auction so we will not need as many girl runners.  At this time, we have enough runners.  However if an older girl would like to participate, we are looking for Gala Greeter Leaders.  These older girls will work with a group of younger girls doing the following: Show them how to greet guests, escort girls to the bathroom, be an example to them as a greeter and help the younger girls to not get out of control, and help with any other problems that may arise. The number of Gala Greeter Leaders will be determined by the number of younger Gala Greeters participating.  If an older girl is interested in being a Gala Greeter Leader, have them sign up as a Gala Greeter.

Mentors are needed to work one on one with girl's to guide and offer support through the higher award process. Both committee members and Mentors are needed across the state, are flexible, and we'll work with your schedule and location!   Volunteer Trainer o   Do you enjoy helping other volunteers learn the ropes and get excited about their new role? Girl Scouts is looking for volunteer trainers who can deliver information about Girl Scouting to new and experienced volunteers. This is a perfect opportunity for someone who is looking to support Girl Scouting behind the scenes, who like to work with other adult volunteers, and for someone who needs a flexible volunteer opportunity.   STEM Professionals and Volunteers o   Are you a professional or volunteer who use science, technology, engineering, or math in your field? Mentors and role models guide students in transforming their interests into careers. Even if you can volunteer only for a limited amount of time, studies have shown that talking with professionals in their own communities helps students. From leading an activity at STEM camp to mentoring a Gold Awardee, the roles of STEM professionals are crucial to the development of exceptional skills, excitement, and accomplishment for students. We’re developing a directory of these Hawaii-based people who are interested in being resources for interested Girl Scouts.   It’s Your Story – Tell It! Girl Scouts of Hawaii would love to tell your story!  Remember, if a troop or service unit has a media opportunity, please let Girl Scouts of Hawai`i know in advance. Send your stories to jegire@girlscouts-hawaii.org.
