Sometimes, a fresh start is a beautiful thing. We wanted our teen center members to experience just that - through the opportunity to create a brand new mural on their patio wall.

A group from Mount Cross Lutheran Church, led by one of our Board Members, Tracy Blois, volunteered their time on Saturday morning to give the Harriet H Samuelsson Teen Center a little TLC. They not only made the patio wall a perfect blank slate, but they also built new garden beds, painted over graffiti, and deep cleaned the entire patio area.

I can't wait to see our teens' imaginations and skills at work creating a new mural and tending to their own garden.

Thank you to these amazing volunteers for giving our teens this wonderful, ongoing experience!

If you would like to volunteer for a similar project with your group, please contact Alexis Minie at aminie@bgcop.org or (805) 815-4959 ext. 201.

Thank you,
