2021-22 Gold Award Girl Scouts Allison Hopkins Bridgewater Teen Nutrition
Allison created “Teen Nutrition” to address unhealthy diets of most teenagers, and their lack of knowledge on eating and preparing healthy food. Through hands-on workshops and lesson plans for Girl Scout troop leaders, she was able to teach young people the benefits of having a well-balanced, healthy diet, and how to prepare time and cost-efficient dishes on their own. “The completion of my Gold Award has led me to become more passionate about matters regarding health and nutrition. This has not only inspired the direction of my project but aspects of my personal life as well.”

Carlisle Encouraging Social Interaction in Online Learning Abigail’s project provided a platform for interaction between students in a collaborative manner. Overcoming the obstacle of student privacy, the platform allows students to opt into socialization with other peers in their online and in-person learning environments to create a venue for meeting others, sharing information, and forming peer relationships. “I would say that this project overall helped me grow a lot as a leader, particularly in persistence and patience.”
