Become a GirlGuiding Leader – Wanaka

GirlGuiding is all about empowering young people to develop confidence, leadership, and life skills. That means heading outdoors, adventuring locally, learning new things, and having fun by getting stuck in.

We’re looking for volunteer leaders in the Wanaka community to support the next generation through weekly activities, planning sessions, and occasional camps.

As a Volunteer Leader, you will:

  • Inspire and encourage tamariki to reach their potential and try new things
  • Be hands-on, enthusiastic, and patient
  • Join a supportive team and be part of a worldwide movement
  • Commit to weekly unit meetings during school terms, plus planning and occasional weekend events

What we offer:

  • Free training, including First Aid and outdoor skills
  • Access to exclusive partner discounts
  • Leadership experience and upskilling opportunities in a variety of areas
  • A chance to make lifelong friendships and a lasting impact

When you apply, we'll be in touch to discuss which section best suits your skills, interests and availability, as well as the needs of our local units.
