Volunteer Support
Volunteers are critical in helping to advance the GSBB mission.
Volunteers take on a variety of important roles including:
- Serving on the GSBB Advisory Committee
- Chaperoning
Girl Scout activities
- Participating in fundraising
efforts
- Providing vital transportation to GSBB families
The safety of the girls participating in the GSBB program is
paramount. All GSBB volunteers are required to become members of
GSOSW, go through a background check and complete a series of
volunteer trainings.
Volunteer Drivers
The majority of GSBB families have transportation challenges and
needs. GSBB volunteer drivers play an essential role, traveling
thousands of miles every month to bring girls to the Coffee Creek
Correctional Facility and ensure their participation in Girl Scouting.
How Driving for GSBB Works
Twice monthly, GSBB volunteer drivers rent cars for their route and
meet girls at a determined location, usually a business or gas station
located central to a cluster of GSBB families.
GSBB volunteer driver mornings typically begin at 6 a.m. on the
Saturdays that GSBB meets. Currently, the majority of GSBB families
live in the extended Salem area (including Hubbard, Salem and Stayton).
