Project Courage Pyramid"Fairy" Volunteer Opportunities

Summer is the highlight of the year for many volunteers. Many of you have been asking how to get involved – this is your chance to support our girls, learn what it takes to get a GirlVentures course out the door, and spend time outdoors in Point Reyes National Seashore. Here is your opportunity to clean a kayak, hike in a backpack full of food, organize gear, wash sleeping bags, or bake chocolate chip cookies for girls on our courses. Call a friend, plan an overnight trip, or take some time off work to help support our programs and our girls. Many employers offer full-time employees a limited number of hours per month paid time off to volunteer at a charitable organization of their choice. Check with your employer to find out if this is an option for you.

What is a GirlVentures volunteer “fairy”?
A fairy is a behind-the-scenes volunteer who makes it possible for GirlVentures to offer amazing summer wilderness experiences to girls ages 11-14. Back in 1997, during our first year of programming, volunteers got the name "fairies" because the women and men in this role, though not often seen by girls, magically make important things appear at the right time. Being a fairy is a great way to be involved with GirlVentures, to meet adventurous, outdoorsy folks, and to help the girls have a safe, unforgettable experience in the wilderness!
