Give a volunteer a high five!
In the Showing Thanks and Appreciation guide, you will learn about showing appreciation through informal thanks and recognitions that are more formal.
Ways to Recognize Volunteers
Showing love and appreciation for volunteers is a must. After all, our volunteers are Ah-mazing! They/you do it all for the girls and often work extra hours on top of busy schedules and hectic lives. We love them for it and, well, Girl Scouting wouldn’t be the same without them. Let’s be sure to shout it from the Girl Scout rooftops!
