her Girl Scout Gold Award project to benefit LGBTQ+ centers with her mom,

Hello!
My name is Skye Elliott (she/her), and I am a freshman in high school at
Veritas Classical Academy, and I am a senior in Girl Scouts. I am currently
working on my Gold Award with local college student Annalise Bennett
(copied here). I have also copied Dr. Elliott, my mom, who works at the
Leadership Department at Marietta College. The Gold Award is the highest
level of service that a girl scout can complete. It requires at least
eighty hours toward an original project to meet a community need that has
self-sustaining impact and lasting value. For my Gold Award project, I aim
to raise funds for various pre-existing LGBTQ+ centers and communities
around the area, as well as locally educate and raise awareness for queer
people. Seeing as you all are an organization who works with queer youth, I
would be honored to invite you into the conversation and interview you on
what paths we might take. As part of the Gold Award journey, I will need to
build a team of experts and people passionate about my chosen cause. If
you're up to it, we could potentially schedule a time for Annalise, you,
and I to sit down together and talk. If you're available at 3:30 on
Wednesdays, Annalise and I usually meet then at the McDonough center. We
can also walk over to the FUUSM church building if you prefer. If you have
any questions, please feel free to use this thread, as it has everyone on
it. If there is a better way to reach the administration of the
establishment, please let us know.
Thank you, Skye
