We recently joined the Gang Awareness, Prevention & Safety Program at South Terrace Youth Center - an event sponsored by Heart of Texas Behavioral Health Network and Waco Housing Authority & Affiliates to support youth and strengthen community connections.

We also captured some great moments with guest speakers Quentin Tasby and Victor P. Hall, MC & Waco Street Drummer Richard A. Thompson, Sierra Shaw (Waco ISD), Cory Cleveland (GRIP Program), and District Attorney Josh Tetens.

Events like this remind us how powerful community connections are. Thank you to everyone who joined us! đź’™
