Girl Guides Victoria

Girl Guides Victoria is a not-for-profit organisation supporting girls and young women across Victoria to build confidence, resilience and a strong sense of belonging. Through a volunteer-powered network across metropolitan, regional and rural communities, they engage thousands of girls each year in programs that develop leadership, life skills and lasting connections.

Their programs combine outdoor adventure with practical learning, including leadership development, STEM activities, teamwork and problem-solving. From camps and expeditions to interactive, practical challenges and community projects, girls build confidence and resilience by trying new things, taking the lead and learning alongside their peers. Just as importantly, they form strong friendships and a sense of connection that supports inclusive participation and ongoing engagement.

A core part of their approach is fostering a connection to the natural environment. Their outdoor programs are a unique strength, building independence, capability and respect for the world around us. They are focused on preserving and strengthening these experiences and the facilities that support them for future generations.

Girl Guides Victoria are committed to ensuring all girls can access these opportunities. Financial pressure, geographic isolation and social barriers continue to limit participation, and they work to reduce these barriers and boost engagement across communities.

Their impact is underpinned by a dedicated volunteer base, creating meaningful leadership opportunities for women while supporting the next generation.

With philanthropic support, Girl Guides Victoria aim to expand access, strengthen their outdoor programs and facilities, and grow participation so more girls can thrive.
