Volunteer Opportunities
We welcome support from local volunteers. The volunteer portal is now live. Please visit the volunteer portal to create your profile to be notified when assignments are posted. Signups for volunteer shifts will begin in April 2026.
Volunteers are required to sign up for a minimum of one 4-hour shift. If you volunteer for a 4-hour shift, you will receive either an All Access: 1-day (Thursday or Saturday) or Limited Access: 1-day (Friday) ticket which can only be used on the day you volunteer. For instance, if you work a 4-hour shift in the morning, you will be able to attend the Girl Scouts Unite event in the afternoon and vice versa. This applies any time you sign up for a 4-hour shift.
If you volunteer for two 4-hour shifts on the same day, you will receive either an All Access: 1-day (Thursday or Saturday) or Limited Access: 1-day (Friday) ticket for a different day, so you can return and enjoy the event. Based on capacity and 1-day ticket availability, GSUSA will assign which day you can attend/redeem your 1-day ticket.
Tickets are issued to the individual who volunteered and are non-transferable.
* Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. One-day tickets are limited to one ticket per person. You must select between Thursday, Friday, or Saturday entry; you will not be able to combine one-day tickets to attend multiple days. Children four years old and under are free; but they must be registered and require a ticket.
