Help Girls Prevent Bullying By Volunteering For Girl Scouts' BFF (Be a Friend First) Series

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois offers Series programs to girls over a 4-6 week session. We are looking for volunteers to lead the sessions. These take place during the school day, at after-school programs, and in other formats. Experience working with middle school aged kids is helpful, but not necessary. All curriculum and training is provided. The BFF (Be a Friend First) Series is focused on bullying, self-esteem and healthy communication. Opportunities are available in many communities throughout southern Illinois.
