GFS believes that every girl and young woman has the potential to achieve anything. Our mission is to help them fulfil that potential by providing a supportive and fun place for girls to meet friends, learn more about themselves and grow in confidence.
We support volunteers in running weekly groups with a programme of activities that will help girls and young women develop the confidence, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and resilience they need to be the truest, happiest versions of themselves no matter what life throws at them.
Our mission is to support and inspire girls and young women. As an Activity Leader, you will create spaces where girls feel safe and valued, so that they can build strong foundations that will prepare them for life’s challenges.
GFS Activity Leaders are people who want help deliver fun and inspiring sessions to girls and young women, with the opportunity to lead on certain tasks.
What you will be doing:
• Helping plan and run activities for the girls, and helping with set up, tidy up and refreshments
• Supporting and contributing to termly planning team meetings to create a programme of activities.
• Leading on activities as agreed with the volunteer team
• Sharing ideas and feedback given by the girls to the Group Coordinator to help create a truly girl-led termly programme.
• Helping with First Aid or Food Hygiene in the group as needed
• Treating every girl, parent, volunteer and task within the GFS values of being girl-focused, brave, feminist, ambitious, inclusive and fun.
• Understanding GFS policy and procedures and follow them, especially safeguarding
