Hours Evenings/Weekends

GirlGuiding New Zealand is a place where girls can try new things, build confidence, and feel like they belong.

We work with:

  • Pippins – Between 5 to 6 years
  • Brownies – Between 7 to 9 years
  • Guides – Between 9 to 12 years
  • Rangers – Between 12 to 17 years

Our girls need leaders who are kind, encouraging, and willing to join in. You do not need experience. You just need to show up, care, and be prepared to have some fun.

You will be part of a small team running weekly sessions for your group. Some weeks you might be doing crafts, other weeks games, badge work, or planning for camp. There are also opportunities to be involved in trips and camps throughout the year.

A lot of our leaders say they joined to help out and ended up staying because of the friendships, the laughs, and the sense of community.

What the role involves

  • Attending one weekly session during school term time, around 1 to 2 hours
  • Working with other leaders to plan and run activities
  • Helping out at trips or camps from time to time
  • Taking part in occasional training or planning meetings
  • Full support and training are provided.

Requirements:

  • Must be 16 years or older
  • Reliable and able to commit during term time
  • Patient and encouraging
  • Happy to be part of a team

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

  • Approximately 3 hours per week in total during school term time
  • This includes 2 hours for the weekly unit meeting
  • Around 1 additional hour for planning and preparation
  • Occasional camps, events, or training sessions during the year, supported by your team
  • If that doesn’t quite fit, we’d love to talk with you about other flexible ways to get involved.
