Furman Friends - Girls Furman Friends is a fun, challenging program that provides a chance to truly affect the lives of a group of girls. Once a week, two Furman volunteers pick up their group of about four to five fifth grade girls from a local elementary school and have an afternoon of fun together. Activities ranging from shopping to skating allow you to have quality time with the girls who are so desperately in need of love and attention. Spending a few hours a week with these girls will not only change their lives but yours also. You can work as a troop leader or assist a leader at your choice of age level.
Most troops meet weekly or every other week.
If you are not quite ready for that commitment, you can be a resource person for troops in your area of interest. Girl Scouts is a wonderful opportunity to get involved with the community. Jesse Jackson Townhomes Volunteers make weekly visits to the Jesse Jackson Townhomes. There, the volunteers interact with neighborhood children from kindergarten to fifth grade. First, time is set aside to read to children and to help them with their homework.
