🎨 IOCC Summer Leadership Lab in Action!

Our IOCC Summer Leadership Lab crew spent some time helping decorate the front of the Community Survival Center in Indian Orchard! 💜

We love giving our youth opportunities to get creative, work together, and make a positive impact right here in their own community. They did an awesome job bringing some extra color and personality to the space!

A huge thank you to the Community Survival Center for allowing our youth to be part of this project, and great job to everyone who helped out! 👏

Our youth don’t stop. They are good neighbors.
