Volunteer at other WAGGGS World Centres

Volunteering at a WAGGGS World Centre will give you the chance to lead groups in the Swiss mountains, assist community action projects in India, participate in service projects in Mexico, run events in London and much more! You will also get professional experience in areas such as event management, training and personal development in the areas of leadership and cultural awareness.

WAGGGS recognizes and values the contribution of volunteers as the world’s largest international voluntary organization for girls and young women.

I would have never trade this volunteer experience for anything in the world! I have learned so much about who I am. It has made me more determined to accomplish what I would like to and to reach the goals I have set.

Carey Hofner, winter volunteer at Our Chalet

 

Working at Sangam is an adventure of self-discovery – immersing yourself in Indian culture, working, living and socializing with the international staff, being embraced by the world friendship of Guiding – I feel like I can only but come away from here a better, more tolerant person.
