Innovative Pathway to Reaching Girls in Foster Care (Workshop 91)
Presenters narrate the stories of five remarkable girls and their incredible journey as members of a troop designed specifically for youth in foster care, Girl Scout Troop 7009. This workshop explores how positive outcomes can result from the simplest of interventions, helping participants to better understand the importance of thinking "outside the box" when creating therapeutic interventions for youth. The session also addresses the troop's beginning and the difference it has made in the lives of the troop members and leaders, as well as community partners; explains how the collaborative efforts of Hamilton County Job and Family Services, Great Rivers Girl Scout Council, and community business partners have helped to sustain this initiative and ensure its success; and provides linkages between the most recent research and the goals of the troop.
