We are thrilled to share that GSHNJ's very own Gold Award recipient, Jola S., was featured in a CBS News segment focusing on GSUSA's research and initiatives on girls' mental health. Jola's remarkable Gold Award project, which teaches kindergarteners social skills and "school etiquette" post-pandemic, was highlighted in the story. GSUSA's latest research reveals that many girls aged 5–13 experience loneliness, impacting their confidence. This underscores the vital role of Girl Scouts in fostering supportive communities and friendships that bolster self-confidence and encourage new experiences. Please take a moment to watch the segment and see Jola's outstanding contribution! https://lnkd.in/gAwQ4ajT #GirlScouts #GSHNJ #MentalHealth #GoldAward #Leadership #CommunityImpact #GirlPower
