Our mission is to support and inspire girls and young women. As an Activity Leader, you will create spaces where girls feel safe and valued, so that they can build strong foundations that will prepare them for life’s challenges. We are looking for women who are passionate about helping girls reach their potential by offering new experiences and supporting them to make new friends. Our Group in Hackney runs on Wednesdays 5pm - 6.30pm during term time at Redmond Community Centre.

GFS Activity Leaders are people who want help deliver fun and inspiring sessions to girls and young women, with the opportunity to lead on certain tasks.
What you will be doing:
• Engaging with and listening to girls and young women weekly, to make them feel supported, valued and inspired to try new things.
• Treating every girl with respect and kindness, helping her to feel proud of who she is.
• Helping run activities for the girls, organising any materials needed for the sessions and helping with set up, tidy up and refreshments
• Supporting and contributing to termly planning team meetings to create a programme of activities alongside the Group Leader/Coordinator. We’ll also provide support through themed session plans and step-by-step activity guides on the GFS website.
• Leading on activities as agreed with the volunteer team
• Sharing ideas and feedback given by the girls to the Group Leader/Coordinator to help create a truly girl-led termly programme.
• Helping with First Aid or Food Hygiene in the group as needed
• Keeping girls safe by informing your GFS Staff contact about any issues or concerns for girls’ wellbeing and report safeguarding concerns that you, or any other volunteers, have as soon as possible.
• Treating every girl, parent, volunteer and task within the GFS values of being girl-focused, brave, feminist, ambitious, inclusive and fun.
• Understanding GFS policy and procedures and follow them, especially safeguarding
