Queens girl scout Sarah Lin honored as 2024 Future Woman of Distinction
A Kew Gardens teen has been honored with the New York City Girl Scout’s highest award for her work bringing the movie theater experience to the hearing-impaired community — a barrier she realized her own mother was facing during a family outing to watch one of the comic book web-slinger’s flims.
Boy Scouts to officially change its name after bankruptcy, sexual abuse woes —here’s what it’ll be called now, a project that works in partnership with theaters across Queens to expand access to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community by providing open-captioned screenings, subtitle glasses and sound-amplifying devices — resources theaters have access to, but often neglect.
Theaters Unsilenced helped Lin earn her Gold Award, the final accolade a Girl Scout can achieve after years of earning patches and pins — and entered her into contention for the coveted Future Woman of Distinction honor.
