The Samaritan Center’s mission is to assist each individual exactly where they are, in becoming self-supportive and independent again, bridging the gap between street and home through services, support, health and home.  To complete their mission, they need help!

“When you earn the Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador Community Service bar, you are making a difference in your community – and practicing the values of the Girl Scout Law.  It’s also a great way to get involved with a cause you care about and learn more about the world.
To earn the bar, first choose an organization you’d like to volunteer with. The organization will need to agree to give you instructions about the work you’ll be doing. Your council needs to approve your service, so check with them before you begin. Once you’re organization has been approved, complete at least 20 hours of service with them to earn the bar.”

– Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting Handbook

NOTE: Because our Council is so large and diverse, Council has tasked the Service Units with approving the organizations.    Email your name, Girl Scout level, the organization’s name, contact information for the person you will be working with at that organization, and a brief description of what you will be doing for them to info@simivalleygirlscouts.org.

Volunteer’s of all ages (even Daisies!) can help feed hungry children around the world by volunteering at Children’s Hunger Fund.

The Youth Council provides an opportunity for young people in our community to learn about and participate in our City government.

The Simi Valley Youth Council is comprised of 21 middle school and high school youth and three alternates who serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council on teen related issues. Youth Council members conduct special projects, coordinate events, and advise the City Council on the needs and concerns of the City’s teens. Each year the Youth Council hosts a Youth Summit that is designed to encourage youth to contribute to their community. Youth Council representatives provide monthly activity reports at the City Council meetings.

All Simi Valley residents who will be in the 7th through 12th grades during the next school year are eligible to apply.

Applications are accepted year round for one-year terms of office.  The term runs from July 1 to June 30.
