VOCAL's "Youth Create Wholeness" Honored by SAMHSA ADS Center: Celebrating the Accomplishments of Last Year's Campaign for Social Inclusion State Award Winners"
*********************************************************************

Through our project Youth Create Wholeness, VOCAL hosted fifty-five (55) events across the State, including eleven (11) Art Raves and two community mural projects: a mural designed by young people who are part of the Monacan Indian Nation and painted onto a large flag to be carried to powwows, and a traveling recovery mural painted on the side of a bus. Through social media, the project reached seven-hundred forty-five (745) people online.
