Volunteer Appreciation Week

April 15 – 22

To all of our Volunteers - Thank you for all you do!

April 15 – 22: Volunteer Apprection Week
April 22: Leader Appreciation Day

The Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital values our volunteers and leaders every day, but we take this week, April 15 to 22, as a special time to commemorate all the wonderful work volunteers and leaders do for Girl Scouting.

Join us as we take time this week to personally thank the volunteers and leaders who make Girl Scouting possible. Call or visit a volunteer or leader who has made an impact in your life. Let her or him know that what they are doing does not go unnoticed.
