Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. Thanks to the dedication and
support of 100,000 amazing volunteers, we are active in every part of the UK, giving girls and young
women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life
skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities.
Our incredible volunteers contribute more than ten million hours to guiding every year. Some give
us a couple of hours here and there – helping out with driving for trips and holidays, fundraising and
events planning, or even doing the annual accounts for local groups. Others give their time as Leaders
or Assistant Leaders for units, providing girls and young women with a space where they can be
themselves. Whatever your skills and interests, and no matter how much time you have to spare,
one of our volunteering roles is bound to suit you.
‘As well as giving the girls amazing opportunities, I feel I’ve also
personally beneted from volunteering. It’s really rewarding for me
and I feel I’ve achieved something great.’

MENTOR
This role description covers Mentors for all Girlguiding qualications including the Leadership
Qualication, the Going Away With Licence and becoming a Commissioner.
Who can do this role?
Mentors are women over 18 years old and should already be experienced Girlguiding members.
Do I need a qualication?
A Mentor must hold, and have current or recent experience of, the qualication she is mentoring for.
What is the purpose of this role?
To support a fellow volunteer in their training towards a Girlguiding qualication, for example
the Leadership Qualication. A Mentor will be matched with a member completing a qualication
(referred to in this document as a ‘Learner’), and will be responsible for supporting them through their
qualication, ultimately deciding when they are qualied.
What will I do in the role?
The list below outlines the general responsibilities of a Mentor, but you will be working within a wider
team and responsibilities may vary depending on different specialisms.
General
zz Ensure that each Learner acquires all the necessary skills, knowledge, attitude and behaviour to
achieve their qualication.
zz Maintain good, regular communication with the Learner, sharing knowledge and resources,
maintaining support and enthusiasm.
zz Conduct the visits required throughout the qualication - or arrange for someone else to do so - to
observe the Learner’s skills and help the Learner to reect on and learn from their experiences.
zz Encourage people in a range of roles to sign off the Learner’s qualication and inform the relevant
Commissioner and relevant Advisers/Coordinators so they can mark off completed modules on Go!.
zz Evaluate the Learner’s progress regularly, making sure they understand their role and what is
expected of them, helping to identify areas for development.
zz Motivate, support and encourage each Learner in successfully gaining their qualication.
zz Maintain communication with the Learner’s local Commissioner and relevant Advisers/Coordinators
or Unit Leader if appropriate, to keep them informed of the Learner’s progress and any relevant
difculties or opportunities to full requirements for their qualication.
zz Signpost the Learner to relevant local training opportunities and help them to register for these.
