LAMOINE Kasey Jordan has been helping her community for years. And she is only a junior in high school.
The Lamoine resident, Mount Desert Island High School and Hancock County Technical Center student and Girl Scout is often found working on initiatives that benefit her neighbors.
Currently, Kasey is busy sewing masks that she can sell to raise money to fund her project to earn her Gold Award for Girl Scouts. Her work is having a ripple effect, reaching the Ellsworth High School Gender/Sexuality Diversity Alliance (GSDA) and even local businesses.
The Gold Award is the most prestigious a Girl Scout can earn, according to the organization’s website. Achieving the award requires identifying an issue in the community, thoroughly researching it and acting on a plan to combat it.
