Valentina Guaman represents the resilience of immigrant youth. Despite fleeing violence and seeking refuge, she finds solace and community in Girl Scout Troop 6000, a lifeline for many.
Troop 6000, launched in 2017, caters particularly to families in temporary housing, providing a sense of belonging through lessons in civics, community service, and traditional scouting activities.
The troop offers a haven for young girls like Valentina, where the chaos of their circumstances fades and they can just be girls, building friendships and life skills.
With over 200,000 asylum seekers arriving in New York City, Troop 6000 becomes vital, not only teaching essential life lessons but also providing a supportive environment amidst challenges.
