Taking Action for cleaner oceans.
The dangers of plastic waste
|
This is my Take Action project for the Girl Scout Girltopia journey. For this project, I wanted to educate people on ocean pollution and the dangers it poses to both marine life and humans. I also wanted to bring micro-plastics, something that isn't very well known, to light. I hope that by the end of this video, you are more informed about these issues and become more mindful about plastics! I plan to have my video featured at my school's film festival.

How to reduce your plastic use
|
For our Journey Take Action Project, we created an educational video. Our target audience was Brownie troops. We met with them via Zoom to show to it and we had some fun activities for them, too. We tied it in to the Eco Friend and Wonders of Water Journeys.
Our project goals were to:
|
Taking Action for healthy relationships.
It All Starts With You - Recognizing Healthy Relationships
|
Taking Action for mental health
Issue Social Anxiety |
Why I chose this issue.

Taking Action to help the homeless
Destigmatizing HomelessnessThe Girltopia Journey Take Action is geared to all people in Orange County. It serves as a directory, an educational piece, and a starter for conversation. Our goal is to combat our homelessness crisis by attacking the stigma around it. Our site includes petitions to sign, stories from collaborators, a list of homeless shelters in OC, and information about what to do when you see a homeless person. Feel free to read, learn, and share!

Adolescent depression
For my Mission Sisterhood Take Action Project I decided to shine a light on adolescent depression . I chose this issue because I believe that many people underestimate the prevalence and they don’t know how to acknowledge the warning signs. I reached out to Senior Girl Scout troops, their leaders and health professionals. I met my project goal of showing my website to 50 people.

Friendship obstacles :Insecurities & Lack of EmpathyNote: We started this project before the onset of COV-ID Restrictions but asked to be included on this page because now, more than ever, it is important to reach out to support your friends. Text or call a friend right now to say how much you appreciate them. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, even if we are too afraid to ask. We all may be going through hard times, but knowing someone cares can mean the world.
Description: Shelia, Emma, and Bridget are 3 normal best friends who go to high school together. They all have insecurities that none of them know about and struggle to feel comfortable in their own skin. In the end, will they come together as friends, or let their insecurities get the best of them? |
