Dublin, 05/09/2024 – On September 5th, in observance of International Day of Charity, the Irish Girl Guides (IGG) is proud to launch a recruitment campaign for new Leaders. More than 1,500 young girls are on waiting lists to join Irish Girl Guides. The organisation invites dedicated individuals to join their dynamic team and play a significant role in shaping girls’ lives.
For over a century, IGG has been a cornerstone in fostering confidence, leadership, and community spirit among girls and young women across Ireland.
This global day, dedicated to promoting charitable activities and highlighting the critical role of organisations in alleviating poverty and fostering solidarity, aligns perfectly with IGG’s mission to empower young girls and build inclusive communities.
As part of the global World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) network, IGG offers a unique opportunity for Leaders to make a profound impact on girls’ lives. Leaders are essential in guiding our Journey Programme, which includes a range of challenges and activities designed to build skills, promote self-development, foster teamwork, and increase global awareness. The IGG programme also highlights the importance of advancing the SDGs, and this work was recently recognized by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications with the designation as an SDG Champion.

“We are seeking dedicated volunteers eager to make a real difference and grow personally,” says Amanda O’Sullivan, Chief Commissioner. “As a leader with IGG, you’ll be part of a supportive community and receive comprehensive training. Your commitment will not only enrich your own life but also deeply impact the development of responsible global citizens, aligning perfectly with the values of global solidarity and social advancement celebrated on this day.”
Joining IGG as a leader means enriching your life with new experiences and friendships, and helping to shape the leaders of tomorrow. Interested individuals can learn more and apply through our website: https://irishgirlguides.ie/.
