Animal Shelter Bronze Level Take Action -
Change the way they think about how they investigate needs at an agency.
ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
If the girls visit a shelter ask what they "need" they will probably hand you a list of needed items to collect.
If the girls visit a shelter & interview the staff to find out what problems, challenges or issues they have & how they can help, they may get a different answer.

Teach younger kids, peers or adults about the need and have them make the items at an event planned by the girls.
With the above examples of issues, you could have the girls do educational talks in their community or team with the shelter to publicize upcoming shelter adoption days.
