Opportunities and Challenges
​
Guiding enables our members to discover, fulfil and often to exceed their potential. A wide range of exciting and sometimes challenging activities offer opportunities to experience things they may not otherwise have chance to do.
​
Our programme is designed to enable girls and young women to make a positive contribution to their community and make a difference in the world.
​
We give girls a voice in the modern world, listen to their views and provide fun and friendship along the way.
Volunteers
​
Our adult volunteers go the extra mile and truly meet our aim of putting 'girls in the lead' while in a safe environment.
​
If you’re already a volunteer with Girlguiding Cleveland then please allow us to thank you for all that you do for our girls. Many guiding opportunities wouldn’t happen without very special people like you.
