You don't have to go through it alone.

My name is Sydney and I am an Ambassador in Girl Scouts. One of the many opportunities we have as Girl Scouts is to earn the Gold Award, which is the most distinguished award a Girl Scout can earn. Earning the Gold Award is no easy feat, as it involves the creation of an impactful and self-sustainable project, in addition to at least 80 hours of work. I am also a survivor of sexual assault. Because of my unfortunate experience, I realized that there is a lack of support for sexual assault survivors and I wanted to do something about that. So, I created this website and named it The Syd Project. The purpose of this website is to provide support for survivors of sexual assault, as well as their supporters. My hope is that other survivors can use The Syd Project as a safe place, in which they can go for guidance, hope, and reassurance. Wherever survivors are on their journey to healing, they can be rest assured that The Syd Project is here to help. Please note that The Syd Project was created with Pennsylvania residents in mind. Although much of the information is applicable to people all around the United States, as well as the rest of the world, some of the information applies only to Pennsylvania.
